HP 166XC Benchtop Logic Analyzers

Product Summary

The benchtop logic analyzers help you get to the root cause of problems quickly, and now at a new low lower price. The ability to connect to an Ethernet LAN provides an easy method of sharing data within the design team and provides remote access to the logic analyzer from a PC or workstation. A built in 540 megabyte hard disk drive combined with the LAN connectivity now makes it possible to use the HP B3740A software analyzer for source line referencing, this is the ability to see correlated high-level C++ source code with the inverse assembled state listing.

Choose a model with 34, 68, 102 or 136 channels to match the analyzer to your application needs. All of the models provide the state and timing analysis speeds that can handle even high- performance applications.

We think that you will agree that these logic analyzers have the right combination of performance, flexibility and ease of use to help you solve difficult problems quickly.

HP166XCS portable logic analyzers with an integrated oscilloscope are also available.

Product Features

• Verify timing relationships
• Use support for your processor or communications bus
• Capture real-time software execution
• Connect easily to your computer
• Utilize LAN Connectivity
• Utilize Mass Storage and DOS compatibility
• Use standard data formats
• Upgrade easily

• Verify Timing Relationships
  Now you can resolve time intervals as short as 2 ns in the 500-MHz half-channel timing mode. Glitch mode will locate elusive signal spikes as narrow as 3.5 ns. And, you can record periods of intermittent bus activity as long as 9.7 hours with transitional timing.
  
  
• Use Support for Your Processor or Communications Bus
  Hewlett-Packard logic analyzers are available with support for a wide range of microprocessors, DSP chips, and standard buses to make your troubleshooting job simpler. Most processor- and bus-specific accessories include a probing interface as well as configuration and inverse assembly software. Quickly Sift Through Code Listings Advanced inverse assemblers are available for mainstream Motorola 680X0 and Intel 80X86 microprocessors. These disassemblers let you choose the information you want to display and conceal the rest. For example, you can suppress unexecuted prefetches and memory read/write cycles.
  
  
• Capture Real-time Software Execution
  The benchtop logic analyzers with oscilloscope can trace intricate software algorithms to find the causes of system crashes and intermittent failures. Or, they can trigger on a time-out violation during a teal-time application. The selective storage feature lets you record only important information, and discard other data during acquisition.
  
  
• Connect Easily to Your Computer
  Connection to your computer and printer has never been easier. Every 1660-series ships standardwith HPIB, RS232 and Centronics interface ports. The optional Ethernet LAN provides both Thin-Lan and Ether-Twist connectors. With the LAN interface your entire team now has easy immediate access to the logic analyzer from anywhere in the world.
  
  
• Utilize LAN Connectivity
  Ethernet LAN connectivity provides network access using X11, FTP, and NFS. Now you can use your 1660-series logic analyzer from your computer no matter where it may be on the network. Display and control the logic analyzer from your PC or Workstation just like you were in front of the instrument. Now the analyzer can be in lab and you can examine the data, make measurements, modify the logic analyzer trigger conditions, and diagnose the problem all in the quiet comfort of your office.
  
  Mount the logic analyzer as a file system using the Network File System (NFS) protocol. Screen images in the three graphical formats andASCII lists of the data captured by the analyzer are now available to your computer through operations like the cp command in UNIX or the File Manager in MS Windows. Sharing measurement results, conducting data analysis and importing pictures into reports has never been easier.
  
  
• Utilize Mass Storage and DOS Compatibility
  A DOS-compatibile 540 Mbyte hard drive and 1.44Mbyte flexible disk drive come standard with the instrument. This makes data and configuration file storage and retrieval easy.
  
  
• Use Standard Data Formats
  Importing measurements data directly into wordprocessor or spreadsheet applications is easy because the data is stored in standard file formats. Listings are stores as ASCII files and screen images are stored in PCX, PostScript, or TIFF formats. The measurement data can be used in any PC or workstation application program that imports these file types. Source Line Referencing The software analyzer (HP B3740A) can be used with the 1660-series to provide time-coorelated source line referencing. You can easily compare the original high-level source code, such as C++, with the state listing code trace of the microprocessor. Trace activity in real time using your address symbols and in your high-level source language.
  
  
• Upgrade easily
  What happens if your application and budget make a 68 channel solution the best one for this year; but, next year the requirements change and you need 136 channels? With the 1660-series you can upgrade the number of channels. You can also add the oscilloscope and LAN capability after the purchase. Do you already have an HP 1660A series logic analyzer? You can upgrade your 1660A-series to a 1660C-series.
