About this Manual
We’ve added this manual to the Agilent website in an effort to help you support
your product. This manual is the best copy we could find; it may be incomplete
or contain dated information. If we find a more recent copy in the future, we will
add it to the Agilent website.
Support for Your Product
Agilent no longer sells or supports this product. Our service centers may be able
to perform calibration if no repair parts are needed, but no other support from
Agilent is available. You will find any other available product information on the
Agilent Test & Measurement website, www.tm.agilent.com.
HP References in this Manual
This manual may contain references to HP or Hewlett-Packard. Please note that
Hewlett-Packard's former test and measurement, semiconductor products and
chemical analysis businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies. We have
made no changes to this manual copy. In other documentation, to reduce
potential confusion, the only change to product numbers and names has been in
the company name prefix: where a product number/name was HP XXXX the
current name/number is now Agilent XXXX. For example, model number
HP8648A is now model number Agilent 8648A.

Printing History
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. The date on the title
page changes only when a new edition is published.
A software code may be printed before the date; this indicates the version
level of the software product at the time the manual was issued. Many
product updates and fixes do not require manual changes, and manual
corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore,
do not expect a one-to-one correspondence between product updates and
manual revisions.

6833x Emulation and Analysis
The HP 64782 6833x emulators replace the microprocessor in your
embedded microprocessor system, also called the target system, so that you
can control execution and view or modify processor and target system
resources.
The emulator requires an emulation analyzer that captures 64 channels of
emulation processor bus cycle information synchronously with the
processor’s clock signal. The HP 64703 Emulation Bus Analyzer meets this
requirement.
The HP 64703 Emulation Bus Analyzer also has an an external analyzer that
captures up to 16 channels of data external to the emulator. You can also use
the HP 64704 or HP 64794 Emulation Bus Analyzer which has 80 channels;
however, these analyzers do not have external analysis channels.
With the Emulator, You Can ...
•Plug into 6833x target systems.
•Download programs into emulation memory or target system RAM.
•Display or modify the contents of processor registers and memory
resources.
•Run programs, set up software breakpoints, step through programs, and
reset the emulation processor. For information about your emulator clock
speed, refer to the 6833x Installation/Service/Terminal Interface Guide.
With the Analyzer, You Can ...
•Trigger the analyzer when a particular bus cycle state is captured. States
are stored relative to the trigger state.
•Qualify which states get stored in the trace.
•Prestore certain states that occur before each normal store state.
•Trigger the analyzer after a sequence of up to 8 events have occurred.
•Capture data on signals of interest in the target system with the external
analyzer.
•Cause emulator execution to break when the analyzer finds its trigger
condition.
4

With the HP 64700 Card Cage, You Can ...
•Use the RS-422 capability of the serial port and an RS-422 interface card
on the host computer (HP 98659 for the HP 9000 Series 300) to provide
upload/download rates of up to 230.4K baud.
•Easily access and use the emulator over a Local Area Network by
connecting it to the LAN.
•Easily upgrade HP 64700 firmware by downloading to flash memory.
With Multiple HP 64700s, You Can ...
•Start and stop up to 16 emulators at the same time (up to 32 if
modifications are made).
•Use the analyzer in one HP 64700 to arm (that is, activate) the analyzers
in other HP 64700 card cages or to cause emulator execution in other
HP 64700 card cages to break.
•Use the HP 64700’s BNC connector to trigger an external instrument (for
example, a logic analyzer or oscilloscope) when the analyzer finds its
trigger condition, or you can allow an external instrument to arm the
analyzer or break emulator execution.
With the Graphical User Interface, You Can ...
•Use the emulator and analyzer under an X Window System that supports
OSF/Motif interfaces.
•Enter commands using pull-down or pop-up menus.
•Enter, recall, and edit commands using the command line pushbuttons.
•Enter file names, recalled commands, recalled values, etc., using dialog
boxes.
•Set breakpoints by pointing the mouse cursor on a line in the mnemonic
memory display and clicking.
•Create action keys for commonly used commands or command files.
With the Softkey Interface, You Can ...
•Use the emulator and analyzer with a terminal or terminal emulator.
•Quickly enter commands using softkeys, command recall, and command
editing.
