Rules For Performance Multiframe Configurations; Creating A Performance Multiframe Configuration - Agilent Technologies 16900 Series Installation Manual

In the performance multiframe configuration, you run the Agilent Logic
Analyzer application on a high- performance PC or server. This is useful if
you are trying to maximize multiframe logic analysis system performance.

Rules for Performance Multiframe Configurations

In addition to the earlier guidelines on
• All systems should use the fastest networking equipment available.
• If a corporate Intranet is used, a switch (as opposed to a hub)
• Systems can be a mix of 16900A, 16901A, 16902A, 16902B or 16800
• The Agilent Logic Analyzer application runs on the performance PC.

Creating a Performance Multiframe Configuration

1 Use a performance PC that can be dedicated to the multiframe setup.
2 Install the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on the performance PC.
3 To ensure the smoothest multiframe startup, ensure that none of the

• Make sure all frames are connected to the common network and are
recognized before continuing.
• Because the Agilent Logic Analyzer application runs on the
performance PC connected remotely to any frames, the frames' front
panel knobs and buttons are not functional.
