File Management
Being able to transfer data to a host computer, such as a PC or UNIX
workstation, can enhance the logic analyzer in many ways. You can
use the host to store configuration files or measurement results for
later review. You can save screen images from the logic analyzer in
bitmap files to include in reports developed using word processors or
desktop publishing tools. Or, you can develop programs on the PC
that manipulate measurement results to satisfy your problem-solving
needs.
This chapter shows you how to save the different types of information.
The examples store files on the flexible disk drive, but you can move
the same files to your host computer using a network interface. The
HP 1660CS family of logic analyzers have HP-IB and RS-232-C
capabilities, and an optional Ethernet interface. If you need help using
the optional LAN interface, see the LAN User’s Guide.
You can also use a host computer to send the logic analyzer complex
command sequences—allowing you to automate your measurement
tasks. If you want to program the analyzer using a host computer, see
the
HP 1660C/CS-Series Logic Analyzers Programmer’s Guide .
