State/Timing  
Agilent offers a wide variety of state/timing modules for a range  
of applications, from high-speed glitch capture to multi-channel  
bus analysis.  
Modularity is the key to the Agilent  
16700 Series logic analysis systems'  
long term value. You purchase only  
the capability you need now, then  
expand as your needs evolve. All  
modules are tightly integrated to  
provide time-correlated, cross  
domain measurements.  
High-Speed Timing  
Oscilloscopes  
Precisely characterize setup/hold times over a wide channel  
count. Capture data over many clock cycles while retaining the  
highest multi-channel accuracy.  
Identify signal integrity issues and characterize signals quickly  
with automatic measurements of rise time, voltage, pulse width,  
and frequency.  
Pattern Generation  
Emulation  
Use stimulus to substitute for missing system components or to  
provide a stimulus-response test environment.  
An emulation module connects to the debug port (BDM or JTAG)  
on your target. You have full access to processor execution  
control features of the module through the built-in emulation  
control interface or a third-party debugger.  
External Ports  
Target Control Port  
Use the target control port to force a reset of your target or  
activate a target interrupt.  
Port-in/Port-out  
A BNC connector allows you to trigger or arm external devices  
or to receive signals that can be used to arm acquisition  
modules within your logic analyzer.

Probing Solutions  
Criteria for Selection  
Why is Probing Important?  
Your debugging tools perform three  
important tasks: probing your target  
system, acquiring data, and analyzing  
data. Data acquisition and analysis  
tools are only as effective as the  
physical interface to your target  
system. Use the following criteria to  
see how your probing measures up.  
How to Determine Your  
Requirements  
To determine what probing method  
is best to use you need to take the  
following into consideration:  
• The number of signals to be  
probed  
Figure 3.1. A rugged connection lets you focus on debugging your target, not your probe.  
• The ability to design probing  
connectors on the target PC board  
itself  
• Mechanical probing clearance  
requirements  
• Signal loading effects  
• Ease of attachment  
• Package type to be probed  
Immunity to Noise  
EMF noise is everywhere and can corrupt your data. Active  
attenuator probing can be particularly susceptible to noise effects.  
Agilent Technologies designs probing solutions with high immunity to  
transient noise.

Selecting the Correct Modules  
to Meet Your Needs  
Selecting the proper logic analyzer  
modules for your needs requires a  
series of choices concerning  
data you will be able to capture. The  
following table explains these factors  
in greater detail.  
Considerations for Choosing Modules  
Microprocessor/  
Bus Support  
Will you be using an analysis probe for a particular processor or bus? If so, a good starting point is the document Processor  
and Bus Support for Agilent Technologies Logic Analyzers, publication number 5966-4365E, available on the worldwide web  
at www.agilent.com/find/logicanalyzer. This document provides the number of channels and state speed required for any  
particular analysis probe. It also indicates which analysis modules are supported and how many are required.  
State Speed  
• State analysis uses a clock or strobe signal from your system under test to determine when to sample. Because state  
analysis samples are synchronous with the system under test, they provide a view of how your system is executing. You can  
use state analysis to capture bus cycles from a microprocessor or I/0 bus and convert the data into processor mnemonics  
or bus transactions using an Agilent Technologies inverse assembler.  
• Select a state acquisition system that provides the speed and headroom you need without breaking your budget. Remember  
that a microprocessor will have an internal core frequency that is normally 2X-5X the speed of the external bus.  
Headroom  
You may realize a better return on your investment if you consider possible future needs when purchasing analysis modules.  
The things to consider are primarily state speed and memory depth.  
Setup/Hold  
• Logic analyzers require time for the data at the inputs to become valid (setup time), and time to capture the data (hold time).  
A lengthy setup and hold can make the difference between capturing valid data or data in transition.  
• Your device under test will ensure that data is valid on the bus for a defined length of time. This is known as the data valid  
window. Your target's data valid window must be large enough to meet the setup/hold specifications of the logic analyzer.  
The data valid window of most devices is generally less than half of the clock period. Don't be fooled by "typical" setup and  
hold specifications for logic analyzers.  
• As bus speeds increase, the time window during which data is stable decreases. Jitter, skew, and pattern-dependent ISI  
add more uncertainty and consume a greater portion of the data-valid window at high speeds. A logic analyzer with  
adjustable setup/hold with fine position resolution provides unparalleled measurement accuracy at high frequencies.  
Timing Resolution  
Transitional Timing  
Timing analysis uses the logic analyzer's internal clock to determine when to sample. Since timing analysis samples  
asynchronously to the system under test, you should consider what accuracy you will need to verify your system.  
Accuracy is made up of two elements: sample speed and channel-to-channel skew. Remember to evaluate both of these  
elements and be careful of logic analyzers that have a fast sample speed with a large channel-to-channel skew.  
If your system has bursts of activity followed by times with little activity, you can use transitional timing to capture a longer  
trace. In transitional timing, the analyzer samples data at regular intervals, but only stores the data when there is a transition  
on one of the signals.

Data Acquisition and Stimulus  
State/Timing Modules  
Considerations for Choosing Modules (continued)  
Channel Count  
Determine the number of signals you want to analyze on your system under test. You will need this number of channels in  
your logic analyzer. Even if you have enough channels to view all the signals in your system today, you should consider logic  
analysis systems that allow you to add more channels for your future application needs.  
Memory Depth  
• Complex architectures and bus protocols make your debugging job increasingly challenging. Split transactions, multiple  
outstanding transactions, pipelining, out-of-order execution, and deep FIFOs, all mean that the flow of data related to a  
problem can be distributed over thousands or millions of bus cycles.  
• The keys to useful insight are the combination of deep memory with responsive display refresh, search, rescaling, and  
scrolling to help you find information and answers quickly. Hardware-assisted memory management in the Agilent  
16740A, 16741A, 16742A, 16750A, 16751A, 16752A, and 16760A state and timing analysis modules makes quick work of  
refreshing the display, rescaling, scrolling, and searching. It takes only a few seconds to refresh, rescale, or scroll a 32M  
sample record. Agilent Technologies offers a range of state and timing analyzer modules with memory depths up to 128M  
samples, at prices to meet your budget.  
Triggering  
• The logic analyzer memory system is similar to a circular buffer. When the acquisition is started, the analyzer continuously  
gathers 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 logic analyzer trigger stops the acquisition at the point you 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.  
• After memory depth, triggering is the most important aspect of a logic analyzer to consider. On the one hand, powerful  
triggering resources and algorithms will allow you to focus on potential problem sources without using up valuable memory.  
On the other hand, to be useful, the trigger must be easy to set up.  
Other  
Measurements  
In addition to the measurements made with an analysis probe, consider whether you need to monitor other signals. Be sure to  
allow enough channels to make those measurements. For state measurements, the state speed of the analyzer must be at least  
as high as the clock speed of your circuit. You may want to test the margin in your circuit by operating it at higher than the  
nominal clock speed to determine if the analyzer has sufficient clock speed. For timing measurements, the timing analyzer rate  
should be from 2-10X the clock speed of your target.

Save and recall up to ten of your  
custom trigger setups without loading  
a new configuration file.  
VisiTrigger  
Your most commonly used triggers are  
just a mouse click away with the built-in  
trigger functions. VisiTrigger’s graphical  
representation shows you how the  
trigger condition will be defined. You can  
use trigger functions as building blocks  
to easily customize a trigger for your  
specific task.  
Sequence levels allow you to develop a  
sequence of analyzer instructions to  
specify a trigger point or to qualify data  
and store only the information that  
interests you. Each step in the sequence  
contains an "IF/THEN/ELSE" structure  
that can evaluate up to four logic  
events. Each event can specify a  
combination of actions such as: store  
sample, increment counters, reset  
timers, trigger, or go to another step  
in the sequence level.  
Ranges provide a way to monitor  
program and data accesses within a  
specified area in memory.  
Global counters can count events such  
as the number of times a function  
executes or accesses an I/O port.  
Timers can be set up to evaluate when  
one event happens too late or too soon  
with respect to another event.  
In timing mode, edge terms let you  
trigger on a rising edge, falling edge,  
either edge, or a glitch.  
Flags can be set, cleared and evaluated by  
any 16715A/16A/17A/40A/41A/42A/50A/  
51A/52A/60A module in the frame. This  
allows you to set up a trigger that is depend-  
ent on activity from more than one bus in the  
system.  
Values can be easily entered directly into  
the trigger description.  
Patterns and their logical combinations  
let you identify which states to store,  
when to branch and when to trigger.

Eye Finder  
eye finder. No special setup or  
additional equipment is required.  
You only need to run eye finder  
once, when the logic analyzer is set  
up and connected to the target.  
Agilent’s eye finder examines the  
signals coming from the circuit under  
test and automatically adjusts the  
logic analyzer’s setup and hold  
window on each channel. Eye finder,  
combined with 100 ps adjustment  
resolution (10 ps on 16760A) on  
Agilent’s logic analyzer modules,  
yields the highest confidence in  
accurate state measurements on  
high-speed buses.

Eye Finder as an Analytical Tool  
Eye finder is very useful as a first-  
pass screening test for data valid  
windows. Because eye finder quickly  
examines all channels, it is  
considerably faster than examining  
each channel with an oscilloscope.  
After running eye finder, you may  
want to use an oscilloscope to  
examine only those signals that are  
close to your desired specifications  
for setup and hold.  
Examples of When to Run Eye Finder  
You should use eye finder in the  
following situations:  
Probing a new target, or probing  
different signals in the same target  
• Because eye finder examines the  
actual signals in the circuit under  
test, you should run it whenever  
you probe a different bus or a  
different target.  
Significant change of target  
temperature  
Eye finder also can quickly provide  
useful diagnostic or troubleshooting  
information. If a channel has an  
unexpectedly small data valid  
window, or an anomalous offset  
relative to clock, this could be an  
indication of a problem, or could be  
used to validate the cause of an  
intermittent timing problem.  
• The propagation delays and signal  
levels in your target system may  
vary with temperature. If, for  
example, you place your target  
system in a controlled tempera-  
ture chamber to evaluate its oper-  
ation over a range of temperatures  
or to trouble-shoot a problem that  
only occurs at high or low temper-  
atures, you should run eye finder  
after the target system stabilizes  
at the new ambient temperature.  
Differences in the position of the  
stable region from one signal to  
another on a bus indicate skew. An  
indication of excessive skew on eye  
finder can help isolate which  
channels you want to check with an  
oscilloscope, or with the Timing  
Zoom 2 GHz timing analysis mode  
in your logic analyzer.  
When Do You Need Eye Finder?  
Eye finder becomes critical when  
the data valid window is <2.5 ns. If  
you’re unsure where your clock edge  
is relative to the data valid window,  
you can run eye finder for maximum  
confidence. If the clock in your  
system runs at 100 MHz or slower,  
and the clock transitions are approxi-  
mately centered in the data valid  
window, you may not see any transi-  
tion zones indicated in the eye finder  
display. This is because eye finder  
only examines a time span of 10 ns  
(16760A: 6 ns) centered about the  
clock.

As state speeds go up, the data valid  
• Differential signals  
Agilent 16760A: Extending Logic  
Analysis to New Realms  
window shrinks. To make reliable  
measurements, a logic analyzer’s  
combined setup and hold window  
must be smaller than the data valid  
window of the signals it is acquiring.  
Agilent’s 16760A has a combined  
setup and hold time of 500 ps to  
match the data valid window of  
very high-speed buses.  
Many high-speed designs use differen-  
tial signaling to minimize simultane-  
ous switching noise and to provide  
immunity to crosstalk and noise. The  
Agilent 16760A has differential inputs  
to allow you to acquire differential  
signals with complete confidence.  
Single-ended probes are also available.  
• Differential inputs (single-ended  
probes also available).  
• State analysis up to 1.5 Gb/s.  
• Setup-and-hold time of 500 ps.  
• Input signal amplitude as low as  
200 mV p-p.  
Logic analysis at state speeds up to  
1.5 Gb/s imposes a stringent set of  
criteria for a logic analyzer.  
Agilent helps you get started in the  
design stage.  
To position the analyzer’s setup-and-  
hold window inside the data valid  
window requires very fine adjust-  
ment resolution. The 16760A gives  
you the ability to position the setup-  
and-hold window with 10 ps resolu-  
tion.  
To probe high-speed signals with a  
logic analyzer, you need to design the  
probe in when you are designing your  
PC board. The following document  
from Agilent will help you design your  
system to take maximum advantage  
of the capabilities of the 16760A logic  
analyzer:  
• Probing  
Agilent’s 16760A uses an innovative  
probing system with only 1.5 pF of  
probe tip capacitance, including the  
connector. The connector is a joint  
design between Agilent and Samtec,  
optimized especially for logic analysis  
measurements.  
• Small-amplitude signals  
Many high-speed designs use small  
signal amplitudes to limit slew rates  
and reduce power. Agilent’s 16760A  
can make reliable measurements on  
signals as small as 200 mV p-p.  
• Logic signal standards supported  
Ground pins located between every  
pair of signal pins provide excellent  
channel-to-channel isolation at high  
speeds.

Data Acquisition and Stimulus  
State/Timing Modules  
Eye scan  
In the eye scan mode, the Agilent  
16760A scans all incoming signals for  
activity in a time range centered on  
the clock and over the entire voltage  
range of the signal. The results are  
displayed in a graph similar to an eye  
diagram as seen on an oscilloscope.  
As timing and voltage margins  
continue to shrink, confidence in  
signal integrity becomes an  
increasingly vital requirement of the  
design verification process. Eye scan  
lets you acquire comprehensive signal  
integrity information on all the buses  
in your design, under a wide variety  
of operating conditions, in minimum  
time.  
Qualified eye scan  
In the qualified eye scan mode, a  
single qualifier input defines what  
clock cycles are to be acquired and  
what cycles are to be ignored in the  
eye scan acquisition. For example,  
you may wish to examine the eye  
diagram for read cycles only,  
ignoring write cycles.  
Slope  
Results can be viewed for each  
individual channel. A composite  
display of multiple channels and/or  
multiple labels is also available.  
Individual channels can be highlight-  
ed in the composite view  
The slope tool indicates DV/DT  
between two manually - positions  
cursors.  
Eye scan allows the user to set the  
following variables:  
• The number of clock cycles to be  
evaluated at each time and voltage  
region  
• The display mode  
• Color graded  
Cursors  
Eye scan data can be stored and  
recalled for later comparison or  
analysis.  
Two manually positioned cursors are  
available. The readout indicates the  
time and voltage coordinates of each  
cursor.  
• Intensity shaded  
• Solid color  
• Aspect ratio of the display  
• Time/division  
• Time offset  
• Volts/division  
Eye limit  
The eye limit tool is a single point  
cursor that can be positioned manu-  
ally. The readout indicates the inner  
eye limits detected at the time and  
voltage coordinates of the cursor.  
• Voltage offset  
Histogram  
• Time resolution of measurement  
• Voltage resolution of  
measurement  
The histogram tool indicates the rela-  
tive number of transitions along a  
selected line. The time range and  
voltage levels of the histogram are  
selected by manually positioning a  
pair of cursors. The cursors indicate  
the voltage level and the beginning  
and end times of the histogram.

Oscilloscope Modules  
When integrated into the 16700  
Series logic analysis systems, the  
oscilloscope modules make powerful  
measurement and analysis more  
accessible, so you can find the  
answers to tough debugging problems  
in less time. Oscilloscope controls are  
easy to find and use.  
For example, using a state analyzer  
you may observe a failed bus cycle. A  
timing problem caused by a reflection  
on an incorrectly terminated line  
may be causing the bus cycle to fail.  
By triggering an oscilloscope from the  
state analyzer, you can quickly identi-  
fy the cause. The ability to cross-trig-  
ger and time-correlate state, timing,  
and analog measurements can help  
you in solving these tough problems.

Data Acquisition and Stimulus  
Pattern Generation Modules  
Digital Stimulus and Response in a  
Single Instrument  
Parallel Testing of Subsystems  
Reduces Time to Market  
Configure the logic analysis system to  
provide both stimulus and response  
in a single instrument. For example,  
the pattern generator can simulate a  
circuit initialization sequence and  
then signal the state or timing analyz-  
er to begin measurements. Use the  
compare mode on the state analyzer  
to determine if the circuit or subsys-  
tem is functioning as expected. An  
oscilloscope module can help locate  
the source of timing problems or  
troubleshoot signal problems due to  
noise, ringing, overshoot, crosstalk,  
or simultaneous switching.  
By testing system subcomponents  
before they are complete, you can fix  
problems earlier in the development  
process. Use the Agilent 16720A as a  
substitute for missing boards,  
integrated circuits (ICs), or buses  
instead of waiting for the missing  
pieces. Software engineers can create  
infrequently encountered test  
conditions and verify that their code  
works—before complete hardware is  
available. Hardware engineers can  
generate the patterns necessary to  
put their circuit in the desired state,  
operate the circuit at full speed or  
step the circuit through a series  
of states.

Data Acquisition and Stimulus  
Pattern Generation Modules  
Vectors Up To 240 Bits Wide  
Vectors are defined as a "row" of  
labeled data values, with each data  
value from one to 32 bits wide. Each  
vector is output on the rising edge of  
the clock.  
Depth Up to 16 MVectors  
With the 16720A pattern generator,  
you can load and run up to  
16 MVectors of stimulus. Depth on  
this scale is most useful when cou-  
pled with powerful stimulus  
generated by electronic design  
automation tools, such as  
SynaptiCAD's WaveFormer and  
VeriLogger. These tools create  
stimulus using a combination of  
graphically drawn signals, timing  
parameters that constrain edges,  
clock signals, and temporal and  
Boolean equations for describing  
complex signal behavior. The  
stimulus also can be created from  
design simulation waveforms. To take  
advantage of the full depth of the  
16720A pattern generator, data must  
be loaded into the module in the  
Pattern Generator Binary (.PGB) for-  
mat. The SynaptiCAD tools allow you  
to convert .VCD files into .PGB files  
directly, offering you an integrated  
solution that saves you time.  
Initialize (INIT) Block for  
Repetitive Runs  
When running repetitively, the vec-  
tors in the initialize (init) sequence  
are output only once, while the main  
sequence is output as a continually  
repeating sequence. This "init"  
sequence is very useful when the  
circuit or subsystem needs to be  
initialized. The repetitive run capabil-  
ity is especially helpful when operat-  
ing the stimulus module independent  
of the other modules in the logic  
analysis system.  
Up to five, 48-channel 16720A mod-  
ules can be interconnected within a  
16700 Series mainframe or expansion  
frame. This configuration supports  
vectors of any width up to 240 bits  
with excellent channel-to-channel  
skew characteristics (see specific  
data pod characteristics in Pattern  
Generation Modules Specifications  
starting on page 105). The modules  
operate as one time-base with one  
master clock pod. Multiple modules  
also can be configured to operate  
independently with individual clocks  
controlling each module.  
"Signal IMB" Coordinates System  
Module Activity  
A "Signal IMB" (intermodule bus)  
instruction acts as a trigger arming  
event for other logic analysis modules  
to begin measurements. IMB setup  
and trigger setup of the other logic  
analysis modules determine the  
action initiated by "Signal IMB".  
"Wait" for Input Pattern  
The clock pod also accepts a 3-bit  
input pattern. These inputs are level-  
sensed so that any number of "Wait"  
instructions can be inserted into a  
stimulus program. Up to four pattern  
conditions can be defined from the  
OR-ing of the eight possible 3-bit  
input patterns. A "Wait" also can be  
defined to wait for an intermodule  
bus event. This intermodule bus  
event signal can come from any other  
module in the logic analysis system.  
Synchronized Clock Output  
You can output data synchronized to  
either an internal or external clock.  
The external clock is input via a clock  
pod, and has no minimum frequency  
(other than a 2 ns minimum high  
time).  
The internal clock is selectable  
between 1 MHz and 300 MHz in  
1 MHz steps. A Clock Out signal is  
available from the clock pod and can  
be used as an edge strobe with a  
variable delay of up to 8 ns.

Figure 4.9. To fill the 16720A pattern generator's 8 MVector  
deep memory (16 MVector in half channel mode) with data,  
the stimulus must be in 'pattern generator binary' format.

Pattern Generation Modules  
"User Macro" and "Loop" Simplify  
Creation of Stimulus Programs  
ASCII Input File Format: Your Design  
Tool Connection  
Direct Connection to Your Target  
System  
User macros permit you to define a  
pattern sequence once, then insert  
the macro by name wherever it is  
needed. Passing parameters to the  
macro will allow you to create a more  
generic macro. For each call to the  
macro you can specify unique values  
for the parameters. Each macro can  
have up to 10 parameters. Up to 100  
different macros can be defined for  
use in a single stimulus program.  
The 16720A supports an ASCII file  
format to facilitate connectivity to  
other tools in your design environ-  
ment. Because the ASCII format does  
not support the instructions listed  
earlier, they cannot be edited into the  
ASCII file. User macros and loops  
also are not supported, so the vectors  
need to be fully expanded in the  
ASCII file. Many design tools will  
generate ASCII files and output the  
vectors in this linear sequence. Data  
must be in Hex format, and each label  
must represent a set of contiguous  
output channels. Data in this ASCII  
format is limited to 1 MVectors in  
the 16720A.  
The pattern generator pods can be  
directly connected to a standard  
connector on your target system. Use  
a 3M brand #2520 Series, or similar  
connector. The 16720A clock or data  
pods will plug right in. Short, flat  
cable jumpers can be used if the  
clearance around the connector is  
limited. Use a 3M #3365/20, or equiv-  
alent, ribbon cable; a 3M #4620  
Series, or equivalent, connector on  
the 16720A pod end of the cable; and  
a 3M #3421 Series, or equivalent,  
connector at your target system end  
of the cable.  
Loops enable you to repeat a defined  
block of vectors for a specified  
number of times. The repeat counter  
can be any value from 1 to 20,000.  
Loops and macros can be nested,  
except that a macro can not be nested  
within another macro. When nested,  
each invocation of a loop or a macro  
is counted towards the 1,000 invoca-  
tion limit. At compile time, loops and  
macros are expanded in memory to a  
linear sequence.  
Probing Accessories  
The probe tips of the Agilent 10474A,  
10347A, and 10498A lead sets plug  
directly into any 0.1 inch grid with  
0.026 inch to 0.033 inch diameter  
round pins or 0.025 inch square pins.  
These probe tips work with the  
Agilent 5090-4356 surface mount  
grabbers and with the Agilent  
5959-0288 through-hole grabbers.  
Other compatible probing accessories  
are listed in ordering information on  
page 121.  
Configuration  
The 16720A pattern generators  
require a single slot in a logic  
analysis system frame. The pattern  
generator operates with the clock  
pods, data pods, and lead sets  
described later in this section. At  
least one clock pod and one data pod  
must be selected to configure a func-  
tional system. Users can select from a  
variety of pods to provide the signal  
source needed for their logic devices.  
The data pods, clock pods and data  
cables use standard connectors. The  
electrical characteristics of the data  
cables also are described for users  
with specialized applications who  
want to avoid the use of a data pod.  
The 16720A can be configured in  
systems with up to five cards for a  
total of 240 channels of stimulus.  
Convenient Data Entry and Editing  
Feature  
You can conveniently enter patterns  
in hex, octal, binary, decimal, and  
two's complement bases. The data  
associated with an individual label  
can be viewed with multiple radixes  
to simplify data entry. Delete, Insert,  
Copy, and Merge commands are  
provided for easy editing. Fast and  
convenient Pattern Fills give the  
programmer useful test patterns with  
a few key strokes. Fixed, Count,  
Rotate, Toggle, and Random are  
available to quickly create a test  
pattern, such as "walking ones".  
Pattern parameters, such as Step  
Size and Repeat Frequency, can be  
specified in the pattern setup.

Monitor Packet Information on  
Parallel Data Buses  
The powerful protocol trigger macro  
allows easy trigger setup by eliminat-  
ing the need to manually configure  
the trigger sequencer for complex  
measurements. All custom-defined  
protocol fields or layers are support-  
ed in the trigger macro.  
The data communications tool set  
shows parallel bus data at a protocol  
level on the logic analyzer. Developers  
have the capability to find complex,  
system-level bus interaction problems  
in applications such as a switching or  
routing system.  
All packets or cells are time-stamped  
in the logic analyzer for time-correla-  
tion measurements with other system  
buses, such as a microprocessor,  
memory interface, PCI bus, or other  
UTOPIA bus. All state listing and  
waveform displays in the logic ana-  
lyzer are time-correlated with global  
markers for a complete view of the  
system. With this tool, it is possible  
to trigger the logic analyzer with a  
microprocessor event and see what is  
happening on a parallel data bus with  
protocol information.  
Obtain Answers to the Following  
Questions:  
• What is the time difference  
between two or more data paths  
and/or a microprocessor?  
• Did a packet make it through the  
switch or router?  
• Why did a packet take so long to  
go through the switch or router?  
• Where did an illegal packet come  
from?  
• What is the latency on packet  
information?  
By monitoring multiple time-correlat-  
ed data buses, you can monitor a  
packet entering one ASIC and see  
how long it takes for the packet to  
reach another part of the system. The  
powerful trigger can also monitor a  
packet entering one port and trigger  
if the packet has not reached another  
port by a designated time.  
• What is corrupting packets?  
Product Description  
The Agilent Technologies B4640B  
data communications tool set adds  
protocol analysis capabilities to the  
logic analyzer for viewing parallel  
data buses (e.g, UTOPIA or a propri-  
etary data bus) in a switching or  
routing system. Each protocol layer is  
displayed with a different color in the  
logic analyzer lister display to allow  
easy viewing of the protocol data.  
Payload information is included after  
the header in a raw hex format.  
Filters are included to allow many  
different views of the data. Protocol  
layers can be collapsed or expanded  
to create a custom view of the data  
acquired in the logic analyzer. With  
the filters, you can concentrate on  
the data of interest for a particular

• How does the system react when it  
receives too many simultaneous  
interrupts?  
• Is the stack size adequate?  
• Is the cache size adequate?  
Optimize System Performance  
Product Description  
Your design has to meet consistent  
performance requirements over a  
range of operating conditions and  
over a specific time period. Using the  
system performance analysis tool set,  
you can obtain answers to many of  
your questions concerning perform-  
ance and responsiveness, software  
execution coverage, debug and sys-  
tem parameter analysis, etc.  
The Agilent Technologies B4600B sys-  
tem performance analysis (SPA) tool  
set profiles an entire target system at  
all levels of abstraction—from signals  
to high-level source code. It clearly  
identifies the components that affect  
the behavior of your system. In addi-  
tion to performance analysis, it can  
be used at any time to test and docu-  
ment many other characteristics,  
such as memory coverage and  
response time.  
Analog, Timing, and Bus  
Measurements  
• What is the setup/hold time of this  
signal or group of signals?  
• Is the distribution of voltages for  
this analog signal acceptable?  
• Is this signal spending too much  
time in the switching region?  
• What bus states occur most often?  
• What is the bus loading?  
• How does the bus affect overall  
system performance?  
Obtain Answers to the Following  
Questions:  
The SPA tool set generates statistical  
representations of the captured data.  
It shows the amount and percent of  
time spent in each of the targeted  
functions or data locations. Data is  
conveniently displayed in histograms  
and bar charts, reducing the time you  
spend analyzing results and identify-  
ing system bottlenecks.  
Performance and Responsiveness  
• What functions monopolize micro-  
processor bandwidth?  
• What functions are never execut-  
ed? What is the relative workload  
of each processor in a multiple-  
processor system?  
• What is the minimum, maximum,  
and average execution time of a  
function (including calls)?  
• How many interrupts does the  
system receive per consecutive  
time slice?  
• What is the response time of the  
target system to an external  
event?  
• How much time is spent in bus  
arbitration?  
• What is the histogram of bus  
transfer times?  
Processor/Cache Measurements  
• Which microprocessor bus states  
occur most often?  
• Which peripherals are used most  
often?  
• What is the profile of load sharing  
in a multiple-processor system?  
• How does the cache size affect  
system performance?  
Software Execution Coverage  
• Do test suites provide thorough  
coverage of the application?  
• Is this function or variable  
accessed by the application?

Serial Analysis  
Solve Serial Communication Problems Product Description  
Your system may use serial buses to  
communicate between ICs and to  
transfer data to and from peripheral  
devices. Sifting through thousands of  
serial bits by looking at long vertical  
columns of captured 1's and 0's can  
be very tedious, time-consuming, and  
error-prone.  
The Agilent Technologies B460lB seri-  
al analysis tool set is a general-pur-  
pose tool that allows easy viewing  
and analysis of serial data.  
The tool set enables you to:  
• Convert acquired serial bit  
streams into readable parallel  
word formats  
• Time-correlate real-time serial  
traces to system activity  
• Remove stuffed bits from the data  
block  
Obtain Answers to the Following  
Questions:  
• Is the software sending the correct  
message?  
• Is the communication hardware  
acting as expected?  
• Process frame and data portions  
separately  
• Process serial data from a signal  
with or without an external clock  
reference  
• Capture and analyze high-speed  
(1 GHz) serial buses  
• When multiple messages are  
involved, in what order is data  
being transmitted?  
• How does the serial bus activity  
correlate to the target system  
processor?  
• What is causing the data corrup-  
tion in the target system?

Tool Development Kit  
The custom tools can be used on any  
16700 Series logic analysis system.  
This allows you to purchase just one  
or two copies of the development kit  
and develop custom tools to support  
a large number of analyzers.  
Customize Your Measurements  
The ability to interpret and display  
information is vital to your project.  
At times the information you need  
can be buried in the raw data of your  
measurement. This might be due to  
one of several reasons:  
Enhance Data Displays  
• Color-code specific states of your  
trace.  
• Display some of your trace data in  
engineering units.  
• The use of a protocol, encoded  
data, or proprietary bus  
• Events that happen only under  
certain conditions  
• Convert the raw trace of a propri-  
etary bus to a transaction-level  
trace of that bus.  
• The need to analyze system  
performance  
• The need to analyze data across  
a large number of repetitive  
measurements  
Manipulate Data  
• Unravel interleaved data into two  
or more columns of data.  
Product Description  
• Combine the traces of two differ-  
ent analyzers into one trace, with  
each column being combined or  
separately displayed as prescribed  
by you.  
• Modify your scope trace using an  
algorithm developed by you, such  
as an analog filter, beat frequency,  
or DSP algorithm.  
The Agilent Technologies B4605B tool  
development kit provides a complete  
environment for creating custom  
tools that processes data using the  
powerful search and filtering capabil-  
ities of the logic analysis system.

Custom Tool Example, Added Text in  
Trace  
This example shows how a custom  
tool can convert data to text to pres-  
ent information in an easy-to-under-  
stand form.  
The original trace comes from a  
control unit in an automobile.  
Embedded in the data is information  
about the engine and transmission.  
When MODE = 0, DATA represents  
engine information, including RPM,  
fuel level, fuel to air ratio, and mani-  
fold pressure. When MODE = 1,  
DATA represents transmission infor-  
mation, including gear position and  
temperature.  
Output of Custom Tool  
Original Trace  
This custom tool allows the user to  
specify Fahrenheit or Centigrade for  
the engine temperature data.

The output of the custom tool in this  
example is shown. Notice that there  
is now data in the DATA column. The  
custom tool was able to reconstruct  
the code flow after the trace was  
taken. The code was reconstructed by  
using the branch trace messages and  
information in the SRecord file creat-  
ed when the code was compiled. The  
tool took the address of the appropri-  
ate states in the trace data and found  
the corresponding code (data) in the  
SRecord file. This created a trace that  
the MPC 555 inverse assembler could  
operate on properly.  
Custom Tool Example, Microprocessor  
Code Reconstruction  
The original trace came from the bus  
of a MPC 555 processor. As you can  
see, no data was placed on the bus at  
the time of the trace because cache  
memory was turned on. Normally, it  
would not be possible to inverse  
assemble this trace.  
Original Trace  
Output of Custom Tool  
By entering information here, users can direct  
the tool to the correct SRecord file and control  
how much of the data the tool is to operate on.  
They can also indicate if the AT2 pin of the MPC  
555 processor is in use.

Custom Tool Example, Multiplex Data  
Custom tools can combine several  
lines of data acquired sequentially  
under one label into one line of data.  
However the data to be combined  
does not have to come from the same  
label, it can come from different  
labels. The labels can even come from  
different analyzers.  
Output of Custom Tool  
Original Trace  
At left are the parameter window and  
message display created by the custom  
tool in this example. Parameters allow the  
user to control different aspects of what  
the tool does to the acquired trace. The  
user can change the parameters and hit  
the execute button to change the output  
of the tool. The output dialog to the  
left displays information generated by  
the tool.

Time Correlation with Agilent Infiniium Oscilloscopes  
E5850A Logic Analyzer - Oscilloscope Time Correlation Fixture  
• Automatic de-skew.  
• Tracking markers.  
E5850A Logic Analyzer Oscilloscope  
Time Correlation Fixture  
Measurements between the logic  
analyzer and Infiniium oscillo-  
scope are automatically de-skewed  
in time. This saves you time and  
gives you confidence in the meas-  
urement results.  
The Infiniium oscilloscope’s time  
markers track the global markers  
in the 16700 logic analyzer. If you  
wish to view a waveform in  
greater detail on the oscilloscope’s  
display, or measure a voltage level  
using the oscilloscope’s voltage  
markers, this feature allows you to  
relate information on the oscillo-  
scope’s display precisely to corre-  
sponding information on the logic  
analyzer display.  
The Agilent E5850A time correlation  
fixture allows you to make time-cor-  
related measurements between a  
16700 logic analyzer and an Agilent  
548XX Series Infiniium oscilloscope  
to solve the following types of prob-  
lems more effectively:  
• Combined waveform display.  
The Infiniium oscilloscope wave-  
forms are displayed in the wave-  
form display window on the 16700  
logic analyzer, along with timing  
analyzer waveforms. This allows  
you to instantly visualize time  
relationships among oscilloscope  
and timing measurements.  
• Verifying signal integrity  
• Tracking down problems caused  
by signal integrity  
• Verifying correct operation of A/D  
and D/A converters  
• Verifying correct logical and tem-  
poral relationships between the  
analog and digital portions of a  
design  
• Global markers.  
The global markers in the 16700  
may be used to measure time  
among all measurements made in  
the logic analyzer and Infiniium  
oscilloscope measurements.  
Agilent’s E5850A time correlation  
fixture works in conjunction with  
software in the 16700 family logic  
analyzers, and any Agilent Infiniium  
54800 Series oscilloscope, to deliver  
the following features:

Probing Solutions Specifications and  
Characteristics  
Isolation Adapter 01650-63203  
Adapter RC Network  
Isolation adapters that connect to  
the end of the probe cable are  
designed to perform two functions.  
The first is to reduce the number of  
pins required for the header on the  
target board from 40 pins to 20  
pins. This process reduces the  
board area dedicated to the prob-  
ing connection. The second func-  
tion is to provide the proper RC  
isolation networks in a very con-  
venient package.

[1] The analyzer can be configured to sample on the rising edge, the falling edge, or both edges of the clock. If both edges are used with a single ended clock input, take care to set the  
clock threshold accurately to avoid phase error.  
[2] Eye width and height are specified at the probe tip. Eye width as measured by eye finder in the analyzer may be less, and still sample reliably.  
[3] For each side of a differential signal.

——0V—— 2X vHeight

[4] The clock inputs in the E5378A and the E5382A may be connected differentially or single ended. Use the E5379A vHeight spec for clock channel(s) connected differentially.  
[5] Sample positions are independently adjustable for each data channel input. A negative sample position causes the input to be synchronously sampled by that amount before each  
active clock edge. A positive sample position causes the input to be synchronously sampled by that amount after each active clock edge. A sampling position of zero causes synchro-  
nous sampling coincident with each active clock edge.  
[6] Threshold applies to single-ended input signals. Thresholds are independently adjustable for the clock input of each pod and for each set of 16 data inputs for each pod. Threshold lim-  
its apply to both the internal reference and to the external reference input on the E5378A.

Timing  
Channels available  
Qualified eye scan mode  
The analyzer samples the qualifica-  
tion signal at the beginning of each  
clock cycle (i.e. at the first of each  
pair of data transfers). The analyzer  
can be configured to treat either the  
rising edge or the falling edge of the  
clock as the first edge of each clock  
cycle. The qualifier should remain  
stable for the entire duration of  
each burst.  
The following channels are not  
available for qualified eye scan  
measurements.  
In the qualified eye scan mode, a  
single qualifier input defines what  
clock cycles are to be acquired and  
what cycles are to be ignored in eye  
scan acquisition.  
Master module, Pod 1  
Master module, Pod 2, Bit 0, Bit 14,  
Bit 1, Bit 15, Bit 2, K-clock  
(the qualifier input itself).  
All channels on all boards other than  
the master board are available for  
qualified eye scans.  
Qualified eye scan is supported in  
the 16760A in 800 Mb/s eye scan  
mode only. Qualified eye scan is  
only available for double-edged clock  
(double-data-rate).  
The qualifier must be pipelined  
(delayed) by one clock cycle before  
transmittal to the analyzer.

period, we will repair or replace

Support and Services  
Warranty  
Agilent's support services comple-  
ment your logic analysis system to  
provide a complete solution to your  
digital design and debug problems.  
By taking advantage of Agilent's  
expertise you can concentrate on  
your particular design projects and  
applications, rather than your debug  
tools, resulting in increased produc-  
tivity.  
Agilent hardware products are war-  
ranted against defects in materials  
and workmanship for a period of one  
year from date of shipment. Some  
newly manufactured Agilent products  
may contain remanufactured parts,  
which are equivalent to new in per-  
formance. If you send us a notice of  
such defects during the warranty  
period, we will either repair or  
replace hardware products that prove  
to be defective.  
warranty period is controlled by the  
warranty statement included with  
the product and begins on the date  
of shipment.
