Introduction
Mainframe commands control the basic operation of the instrument
for the 1660-series logic analyzers. The 1660-series logic analyzers are
similar to a 16500A logic analysis system with either a single logic
analyzer module (1660A) or one logic analyzer and one oscilloscope
module (1660AS) installed.
The main difference in mainframe commands for the 1660-series logic
analyzers is the number of modules. In the 1660 series logic analyzers,
module 0 contains the system level commands, module 1 contains the
logic analyzer level commands, and module 2 contains the
oscilloscope module commands. The command parser in the
1660-series logic analyzers is designed to accept programs written for
the 16500A logic analysis system with a 16550A logic analyzer and/or
oscilloscope modules. The main difference is how you specify the
SELECT command. Remember, the 1660-series logic analyzer is
equivalent only to a mainframe with up to two modules; therefore, if
you specify 3 through 10 for the SELECT command in your program,
the command parser will take no action.
This chapter contains mainframe commands with a syntax example
for each command. Each syntax example contains parameters for the
1600-series logic analyzers only. Refer to figure 9-1 and table 9-1 for
the Mainframe commands syntax diagram. The mainframe commands
