Analyzing Bus Problems
Hardware and software problems tend to have the same set of symptoms on the
HP-IB.
In response to the need to quickly find the source of the problem, -hp-
developed the 59401 A Bus System Analyzer. It simplifies diagnosis of bus
prob-
lems by allowing the user to see the status of all bus lines, including the actual
ASCII characters on the bus data lines. Because the 59401 A can drive all bus
lines, it can completely exercise another Talker, Listener, or Controller.
