In This Book

This guide, combined with the

HP 16500/16501A Programmer’s
Guide

, provides you with the information

needed to program the HP 16554A and
HP 16555A/D logic analyzer modules.
Each module has its own reference to
supplement the mainframe manual since
not all mainframes will be configured with
the same modules.

This manual is organized in three parts.
Part 1 consists of chapters 1 and 2 which
contain general information and
instructions to help you get started.

Chapter 1 also contains:

•

Mainframe system commands that are
frequently used with the logic analyzer
module

•

HP 16554A/HP 16555A/HP 16555D
logic analyzer command tree

•

Alphabetic command-to-subsystem
directory

Chapter 2 contains module-level
commands.

Part 2 consists of chapters 3 through 16
which contain the subsystem commands
for the logic analyzer and chapter 17
which contains information on the
SYSTem:DATA and SYSTem:SETup
commands for this module.
