Remote Programming Interface (RPI)

RPI Overview

Typical Applications Manufacturing Test

Data Acquisition for Offline Analysis

System Verification and Characterization

Pass/Fail Analysis

Stimulus Response Tests

Remote Programming 1.Set up the logic analyzer and save the test configuration.

Steps 2.Create a program that remotely:

Loads a test configuration

Starts the acquisition process

Checks measurement status (verifies completion)

Acts on the results of the data acquisition

• Saves configuration and captured data

• Exports data

• Executes a compare

• Modifies the trigger setup or trigger value for the next

acquisition

• Accesses the oscilloscope’s automatic measurements

Physical Connection Remote programming is done via the LAN connection

Requirements

16700B Series RPI is standard with system software version A.02.00.00 or

Analysis Systems higher

PC Programming is done via Microsoft® ActiveX/COM
