How to use
this guide
Welcome to Hewlett-Packard logic analyzers. The HP 1652B and
HP 1653B Logic Analyzers are more than just another logic analyzer.
They are an analyzer and oscilloscope in one instrument. With this
combination, you have expanded measurement capabilities.
The user interface of the HP 1652B/HP 1653Bwas designed to be as
easyto operate aspossible. The use of “pop up” windows help lead you
through setups and measurements without having to memorize a lot of
steps. As you read this guide and the other references about the logic
analyzer, you will seejust how easyto usethe HP 1652B/HP 1653B
really is.
We will not cover every feature and function of the HP 1652B/HP
1653B Logic Analyzer in this guide. The purpose of this Getting Started
Guide, is to get you going quickly, by giving you the basic user interface
information along with a couple measurement examples. The detailed
information will be found in the HP 1652B/HP 1653BFront-Panel
Operation Reference.
If you are new to logic analyzers and digitizing oscilloscopes, or just
need a refresher, we think you will find Feeling Comfortable With Logic
Analyzers and Feeling Comfortable with Dig&king Oscilloscopes
valuable reading. These books will help eliminate any misconceptions
or confusion you may have about the analyzer’s applications, and will
show you how to get the most out of it’s measurement functions.
This guide is organized into two types of information. The first three
chapters cover basic user interface information. If you are an
experienced HP logic analyzer user, but new to this family of logic
analyzers, you may want to read just the first three chapters and then
go directly to the HP 1652BIHP 1653BFront-Panel Operation
Reference.

The nextthree chapterssimulatebasicmeasurementsin a
task-orientedformat. Theseexamplemeasurements,illustrate menu

What Are the
HP 1652B and
HP 1653B?
-
-
The HP 1652B and HP 1653Blogic analyzers are general-purpose logic
analyzers with built-in oscilloscopes. If you’re familiar with the
HP 1652B/HP 1653Bor any HP digitizing oscilloscope, you’ll recognize
many features that you’ve grown to know and love. If you’re new to our
analyzers and oscilloscopes, the HP 1652B/HP 1653B is easyto get to
know.
The only differences between the HP 1653B and the HP 1652B, are the
number of data channels and the speed of the state analyzer. The
HP 1652Bhas 80 data channels and 35 MHz state analysis while the
HP 1653B has32 data channels and 25 MHz state analysis. Both
analyzers have 100MHz timing analysis along with 100MHz
single-shot and repetitive (repetitive single-shot) oscilloscope
measurement capabilities. Because the differences are small between
both instruments, they usethe same set of manuals.
Some of the key features shared by both the HP 1652B and HP 1653B
are listed below:
Transitional or glitch timing mode on all channels.
Simultaneous state/state or state/timing modes.
Glitch detection on all channels.
Marker measurements.
Timing and Scope Autoscale.
Scope Automeasure.
Pattern, edge, and glitch triggering.
Overlapping of waveforms.
Small lightweight probing.
Time and number of statestagging.
State Compare, Waveform, and Chart.

Selecting the
Line Voltage
The line voltage selector has been set at the factory to the line voltage
used in your country. It is a good idea to check the setting of the line
voltage selector soyou can become familiar with what it looks like. If
the setting needs to be changed, follow the procedure in the next
paragraph.
---
You can damage the logic analyzer if the fuse module is not set to the
correct position.
01650E02
You change the line voltage setting by pulling the fuse module out and
re-inserting it with the proper arrows aligned. To remove the fuse
module, carefully pry at the top center of the module, asshown in the
figure above, until you can grasp it and pull it out by hand.

Checking for
- the Correct
- Fuse
If you need to check for the correct fuses, remove the fuse module and
look at the amperage and voltage of each fuse. The following figure will
help you locate the 115V and 230V fuses. To remove the fuse module,
carefully pry at the top center of the module until you can grasp it and
pull it out by hand. (Refer to, “Selecting the Line Voltage” on the
previous page.)

Connecting the
The HP 1652B/HP 1653B comes with a 3-wire power cable. When you

connect the cable to an appropriate AC power receptacle, a ground is
provided for the instrument cabinet. The type of power cable you
receive with the instrument depends on your country. Refer to
appendix D of the HP 1652BIHP 1653BFront-Panel Operation
Referencemanual for power cord types.
Warning
To avoid possible shock hazard, you must connect the
instrument to a properly grounded 3-wire receptacle.

Operating
You may operate your logic analyzer in a normal lab or office
Fnwivnnmnnt
environment, but don’t block its ventilation. You must provide an
-
and Ventilation
unrestricted airflow for the fan and ventilation openings in the rear of
the logic analyzer. However, you may stack the logic analyzer under,
over, or in-between other instruments aslong asthe surfaces of the
other instruments aren’t needed for their ventilation. If you intend to
useit in another type of environment, refer to Appendix F in the
HP 1652BlHP 1653BFront-Panel Operation ReferenceManual.
Loading the
Operating
System
Before you can operate the logic analyzer, it must transfer its operating
system from disk memory to its internal memory. This is called “loading
the operating system” or “booting.”
The logic analyzer operating systemis a set of instructions that control
the operation of the instrument. The operating system resides on a
3.5inch flexible disk. You received two identical operating system
disks. You should mark one of them Master and store it in a safe place.
Mark the other one Work and use only the work copy. This will provide
you with a back-up in caseyour work copy becomes corrupt.
To prevent damage to your operating system disk, DO NOT remove
the disk from the disk drive while it is running. Remove it only after the
indicator light hasgone out.

Disk Drive
The disk drive is used by the HP 1652B/HP 1653B to load the
operating system every time the logic analyzer is turned on. You will
usethe disk drive to load configurations or store configurations,
acquired data, and inverse assemblers for later use. The disk drive uses
3.5inch flexible disks. More information on loading files is found in
Appendix B of this guide. Complete details on the disk drive and its
functions can be found in the HP 1652B/HP 1653BFront-Panel
Operation Referencemanual.
ROII Keys
When part of the listing or waveforms data is off screen, the ROLL
keys define which way the knob will move the displayed data. You will
usethese keys and the knob to roll displayed data up/down or left/right
to view data that is off-screen.

Knob The Knob has four major functions depending on what menu or
pop-up menu you are in. The KNOB allows you to do the following
actions:
l Move the cursor from field to field within the System
Configuration and main menus.
l Roll the display left or right and up or down.
l Position the cursor on options within pop-up menus.*,
l Increment/decrement numeric values in numeric entry pop-ups.
h’lplJtS
The HP 1652B and HP 1653Bhas both front-panel inputs and rear
panel inputs/outputs. The front panel INPUTS 1 and 2 are for signal
input to the oscilloscope. BNC cables or oscilloscope probes can be
used.
Logic analyzer probe inputs, labeled by POD and CLOCK, are located
on the rear-panel. In addition, a Probe Compensation Signal, and
EXTERNAL TRIGGER IN/OUT BNCs are on the rear-panel.
