Agilent / HP / Keysight 16717A
16717A Timing and State Module
Description
The agilent 16717A logic analyzer is suitable for general purpose hardware debug and 8/16 bit processor debug. Just configure the 16717A module as two independent state analyzers that sample data using separate clocks. Then, view both time-correlated state listings together on the same screen.
The 16717A logic analyzer is designed in such a way that the user can spend more time making measurements and less time setting up the logic analyzer even it may not be used everyday.
Memory depth can be an invaluable resource when trying to link the symptom of a problem to its root cause. Extensive acquisition memory of the 16717A allows you to view long periods of code execution, capture deep traces of timing information, optimize your system for peak performance, or validate your ASIC design against EDA simulations.
The 16717A logic analyzer memory system is similar to a circular buffer. When the acquisition is started, the analyzer continuously acquires data samples and stores them in memory. When memory becomes full, it simply wraps around and stores each new sample in the place of the sample that has been in memory the longest. This process will continue until the logic analyzer finds the trigger point.
The 16717A logic analyzer trigger stops the acquisition at the point user specify and provides a view into the system under test. The primary responsibility of the trigger is to stop the acquisition, but it can also be used to control the selective storage of data. Consider a logic analyzer with the trigger resources you need to quickly set up your measurements.
High input impedance will minimize the effect of probing on circuit. Although many probes are acceptable for lower frequencies, probing effects become very significant at higher frequencies. EMF noise is everywhere, and it can corrupt the data. Active attenuator probing can be particularly susceptible to noise effects. Agilent Technologies designs probing solutions with high immunity to transient noise.
A flimsy probe gives you unintended open circuits, adding one more variable to the debugging equation. Agilent Technologies’ probes are mechanically designed to relieve strain and ensure a rugged and reliable connection.
VisiTrigger technology available in the 16717A module is a breakthrough in logic analysis usability. It combines increased trigger functionality with a user interface that is easy to understand and use. Now with VisiTrigger, capturing complex events is as simple as point-and click to choose the trigger function and fill-in-the-blank to customize it to your specific task.
A multitude of packages exist in the digital electronics industry. Check the large selection of probing solutions designed for specific chip packages or buses. As an alternative, Agilent offers reliable termination adapters that work with standard on-target connectors.
This Analyzer module, offers industry standard state and timing analysis features at an affordable price.
