In This Book
This programmer's guide contains general
information, mainframe level commands,
and programming examples for
programming the HP 16500B/16501A
Logic Analysis System. This guide
focuses on how to program the system
over the HP-IB and the RS-232C
interfaces. However, if you have the
optional HP 16500L LAN Interface
Module, you will need to use the
HP 16500L LAN Interface Module
User's Guide along with this guide to
program the system over the LAN.
Along with the programmer's guides for
the individual modules, this guide
provides a complete set of programming
information for your system.
Organization
When you received your HP 16500B you
received two binders, Volume 1 and
Volume 2. The Volume 2 binder gives
you a place to insert the module
programmer's guides when the Volume 1
binder is full.
As you purchase additional measurement
modules, insert their programmer's
guides in the back of this binder or in the
second binder.
