and 1-GSa/s Synchronous State
Logic Analyzer

The Agilent Technologies 16517A 4-GSa/S Timing and 1-GSa/S State Logic Analyzer
ii

In This Book
The User’s Reference contains field and
feature definitions. Use this part of the
manual set for information on what the
menu fields do, what they are used for,
and how the features work.
The User’s Reference is divided into
chapters covering general product
information and probing. In addition,
there are separate chapters for each
analyzer menu, a chapter for markers, a
chapter for error messages, and a chapter
for instrument specifications.
You have the choice of using the analyzer
as either a synchronous state analyzer or
a timing analyzer. Some menus in the
analyzer will change depending on the
acquisition mode used. For example,
because a timing analyzer does not use
external clocks, the external clock
assignment fields in the Format menu will
not be available.
If a menu field is only available to a
particular acquisition mode, the field is
designated (Timing only) or (State only)
after the field name. If no designation is
shown, the field is available for both state
and timing.
