Agilent / HP / Keysight 1660C

The Agilent/HP 1660C 136 channel portable benchtop logic analyzer helps you get to the root cause of problems quickly.

The 1660C has an internal hard disk drive, which provides quick storage and retrieval of files. The 3.5-inch high-density flexible disk drive supports both DOS and LIF formats.

LAN interface enables access to the logic analyzer files via FTP or NFS.

Use X11 windows and display the logic analyzer user interface on a PC or workstation.

The HP 1660C operating system includes System Performance Analysis (SPA). SPA provides state histograms, state overview, and time interval analysis.

The HP E2450A Symbolic Download Utility is included with the 1660C. This utility provides the capability to extract symbolic information from popular object module formats.

Data can be stored as ASCII files and screen images in TIFF, PCX, and EPS (encapsulated PostScript™) formats.

New graphical trigger macros make trigger setup easier. Centronics, RS-232 and HP-IB communications ports make connecting to other devices easier than ever. All of these come standard on HP 1660C model.

Standard DIN mouse and keyboard connectors are provided with the Agilent / HP 1660C. A mouse ships with every HP 1660C.

The HP 1660C logic analyzer was designed to make things easier by bridging the gap between the hardware and software worlds. The HP 1660C covers a wide application range from the isolation of elusive hardware flaws to the debugging of real-time code. It is all displayed together with time correlation and markers that track between code and waveforms.

The HP 1660C logic analyzer has five modes of timing analysis so hardware designers can adapt the analyzer to the speed and type of data they need to capture. Conventional timing analysis resolves time intervals as short as 2 ns between edges. Transitional timing is right for situations when you need to look at data bursts with periods of inactivity between.

Some of the tougher hardware problems can be found only with digital triggering and solved only with an oscilloscope. So, the CS models come with a built-in, 1-Ga/s oscilloscope that can be triggered by the logic analyzer.

Many important capabilities have been added to the 1660C logic analyzer to help software engineers. The modules of 1660C have functionality that was previously available only with more expensive logic analyzers.

The HP Software Analyzer package gives the high level view required for faster debug by displaying a disassembled state analysis listing with symbolic data in a window along side the source code listing which makes finding elusive software defects a lot simpler.
