Introduction to Programming
Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basics for remote programming of a
logic analyzer. The programming instructions in this manual conform
to the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation. The programming instructions provide the means of
remote control.
To program the HP 54620A Logic Analyzer or HP 54620C (color)
Logic Analyzer, you must add either an HP-IB (for example,
HP 54650A) or RS-232-C (for example, HP 54651A or HP 54652B)
interface to the rear panel.
You can perform the following basic operations with a controller and a
logic analyzer:
•
Set up the instrument.
•
Make measurements.
•
Get data (waveform, measurements, configuration) from the logic
analyzer.
•
Send information (pixel image, configurations) to the logic
analyzer.
Other tasks are accomplished by combining these basic functions.
Languages for Program Examples
The programming examples for individual commands in this manual are written
in HP BASIC or C.
