Connecting Peripherals

The 1670G-series logic analyzers comes with a PS2 mouse. It also

provides connectors for a keyboard, Centronics (parallel) printer, and

GPIB and RS-232-C devices. This chapter tells you how to connect

peripheral equipment such as the mouse or a printer to the logic

analyzer.

You can use either the supplied mouse and optional keyboard, or

another PS2 mouse and keyboard with standard DIN connector. The

DIN connector is the type commonly used by personal computer

accessories.

The logic analyzer communicates directly with HP PCL printers

supporting the printer control language or with other printers

supporting the Epson standard command set. Many non-Epson

printers have an Epson-emulation mode. HP PCL printers include the

following:

•HP ThinkJet

•HP LaserJet

•HP PaintJet

•HP DeskJet

•HP QuietJet

You can connect your printer to the logic analyzer using GPIB, RS-232-

C, or the parallel printer port. The logic analyzer can only print to

printers directly connected to it. It cannot print to a networked printer.
