HP 16500C Programmer's Manual page 3

In This Book
This programmer's guide contains general
information, mainframe level commands,
and programming examples for
programming the HP 16500C/16501A
Logic Analysis System. This guide
focuses on how to program the system
over the HP-IB interface, but also briefly
explains how to use the RS-232-C and
LAN interfaces. The Logic Analysis
System cannot be programmed over the
16505 interface.
This guide provides a complete set of
programming information for your system.
Organization
When you received your HP 16500C
Programmer's Guide you received two
binders, Volume 1 and Volume 2. The
Volume 2 binder gives you a place to
insert the module programmer's guides
when the Volume 1 binder is full.
As you purchase additional measurement
modules, insert their programmer's
guides in the back of this binder or in the
second binder.
