Probing
This chapter describes the probing system used by the 16517A/18A
logic analyzer. It also contains information about the probing
accessories, how to connect them to the probing system, and how to
connect the probing system to the target system.
Probing Options
You can connect the logic analyzer to your system under test in one of
the following ways:
•
The standard general purpose probing (provided).
•
Agilent Technologies E2445A User-Definable Interface (optional).
•
Microprocessor and bus specific interfaces (optional).
General-Purpose Probing
General-purpose probing involves connecting the logic analyzer
probes directly to your target system without using any interface.
General purpose probing does not limit you to specific hook up
schemes as, for example, the probe interface does. General-purpose
probing uses grabbers that connect to both through hole and surface
mount components.
General-purpose probing is the standard probing option provided with
the logic analyzer. There is a full description of its components and
use later in this chapter.
