In addition to the supplied probing system, the logic analyzer can be
connected to a target system using the following probing options:
The E2445A User-Definable Interface
The optional E2445A User-Definable Interface module allows you to
connect the logic analyzer to the microprocessor in your target system
using a breadboard which you custom wire to your system.
The 16517-27601 SMA Adapter
The optional SMA adapter allows you to connect the individual probes
to SMA cables.
Microprocessor and Bus Specific Interfaces
The 16517A/18A does not support inverse assembly. In addition, the
16517A/18A requires that any preprocessor used be a non- terminated
preprocessor. The analyzer requires a clear connection with no
termination.
Microprocessors are supported by universal interfaces or
preprocessor interfaces, or in some cases both. There are a number of
microprocessor and bus specific interfaces available as optional
accessories listed in Accessories for Agilent Logic Analyzers.
Universal interfaces are aimed at initial hardware turn-on, and will
provide fast, reliable, and convenient connections to the
microprocessor system.
Preprocessor interfaces are aimed at hardware turn-on and
hardware/software integration, and will provide the following:
•
All clocking and demultiplexing circuits needed to capture the
system's operation.
•
Additional status lines to further decode the operation of the CPU.
•
Bus interfaces to support bus analysis for GPIB, RS-232-C, RS-449,
SCSI, VME, VXI, ISA, EISA, MCA, FDDI, Futurebus+, JTAG, SBus,
PCI, and PCMCIA.
