Identification Of Hardware Resources - HP 81200 User Manual

System Components
HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer Platform User Guide, Revision 2.1
The maximal sequencer clock frequency is hence 41.67 MHz ,
corresponding to a period of 24 ns.
For technical details please refer to the HP 81200 Technical
Specifications.
The input lines can be used to detect single, asynchronous events. If
certain patterns (bit combinations) are to be detected, it is recommended
to synchronize the incoming data with the HP 81200 system. This can be
done by generating a clock signal at the TRIGGER OUTPUT of the E4805A
Central Clock Module and applying that clock to the event source (see
"How to Set the Characteristics of the Trigger Output" on page 92).

Identification of Hardware Resources

The hardware resources pool is comparable to a traditional instrument.
Here the instrument is seen as a collection of modules, which provide
several signal connectors. Parameters that can be modified on a connector
level, such as levels or timings, are handled here.
An HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer Platform can consist of multiple
clockgroups. Each clockgroup consists of modules which in turn have
connectors.
The following diagram illustrates the numbering system used to address a
system, module, or connector.

The identification of a generator or analyzer channel is:
Cx–My–Cz (ClockgroupNumber–ModuleNumber–ConnectorNumber),
such as C1–M3–C5.
