Other Multiframe Configuration Notes
If you need to make time- correlated measurements with more logic
analysis channels than can be installed into a single logic analysis system
frame, you can connect multiple 16900A, 16901A, 16902A, 16902B, 16800
series, U4002A or M950xA frames together in a multiframe logic analysis
system.
Guidelines for Configuring a Multiframe System
• If a system has two LAN ports, Agilent recommends only one be used.
• Use the highest speed network and adapters available.
• If possible, use a switch (as opposed to a hub) to isolate traffic between
frames from the rest of the network.
• Connect all the systems participating in the multiframe configuration to
a common network that provides IP configuration services (DHCP), and
configure all individual systems for DHCP managed IP addressing.
Doing so can improve the connection reliability substantially in a
multiframe scenario.
• Make sure that the same version of the Agilent logic Analyzer
application is installed on all logic analysis systems.
