The HP 16500B is the mainframe of the Hewlett-Packard Logic Analysis System. It offers a modular structure for plug-in cards with a wide range of state,timing,oscilloscope,and pattern generator capabilities. This allows you to configure the HP 16500B using only the modules you need in order to perform a desired measurement or set of measurements,while giving you the flexibility to change or update them later.
The Logic Analysis System provides both experienced and first-time users with powerful measurement capabilities. The pop-up menus and color graphics lead you through setups and measurements quickly and easily,without the need to memorize a lot of steps. By touching the appropriate fields or using the cursor of either the optional mouse or keyboard,you can perform functions,configure menus,and move from one menu to another.
With the inter module capabilities of the Logic Analysis System ,you can make interactive measurements between modules. This allows you to configure modules to interact with each other,using the triggering capabilities of one module and the acquisition capabilities of another.
