Tool Development Kit
Product Characteristics
Analyzer compatible custom tools
will run on any 16700 Series analyzer
running version A.01.40.00 or
greater. In some rare instances,
changes in the operating system can
require that your tools be recompiled
in order to run on that version of the
operating system.
Analysis and Stimulus Modules
The tool development kit supports
the following Agilent Technologies
measurement modules:
• 16715A, 16716A, 16717A, 16718A,
16719A, 16750A, 16751A, 16752A
• 16710A, 16711A, 16712A
• 16557D
• 16556A/D, 16555A/D
• 16554A
• 16550A
• 16534A, 16533A
• 16517A, 16518A
• 16522A, 16720A
• 16740A, 16741A, 16742A
C Compiler
The libraries provided with the C
compiler allow you to perform stan-
dard operations such as creating
ASCII or binary files, reading from
these files, writing or appending to
these files, and IEEE 764 floating
point operations.
Provided Functions
Agilent Technologies provides a rich
library of functions that allow you to
copy data sets, create new data sets
with new labels, and to reorganize
the acquired data under these new
labels or to include data or text
derived from the acquired data.
The functions allow:
• Stopping a repetitive run
• Filtering of the data
• Randomly accessing the data
• Searching the data
• Displaying the data in one of eight
colors
• Accessing the trigger point
• Accessing the acquired time or
state of the data
• Outputting text strings to the
tool's display window
• Outputting errors to the runtime
window
By using two of the provided func-
tions, a simple user interface can eas-
ily be created that consists of label
strings and input fields. This allows
the input of parameters during the
tool's execution.
