The E5386A Half-channel Adapter

The E5386A Half- channel Adapter is intended to be used
with the Agilent 16760A logic analyzer in half- channel state
mode and supports the E5402A, E5405A, and E5406A
probes.
The E5386A Half- channel Adapter has its own ID code.
When using the adapter, the 16760A logic analyzer
recognizes its code rather than that of the probe which is
attached to the target. Therefore, the user interface format
menu doesn't automatically set thresholds to the proper
values. You need to go into the threshold menu and select
(differential, custom, or standard settings).
When using the adapter in half- channel state mode:
• Clock- bits are not available in half- channel state mode
(although JCLK on the master is still used).
• Be sure to connect Master pod 1 of the logic analyzer to
the upper bits, 8- 15 + clk, on the half- channel adapter.
This is necessary to connect the clock in the system
under test to the logic analyzer system clock.
• Using the E5386A does not reduce the performance of the
16760A logic analyzer and the soft touch probes.
If the E5386A is used in full- channel state mode, the
thresholds on the unused (odd) bits are floating. This could
result in spurious activity indicators in the format menu.
