Agilent Technologies 1680 manual Set up the 1690A,AD-series logic analyzer

Chapter 3: Testing Performance

To set up the test equipment and the logic analyzer

Set up the 1690A,AD-series logic analyzer

Power-up self tests are done on the logic analyzer system components when power is applied. Logic analyzer peripheral communication tests are done when the host PC recognizes the hosted logic analyzer hardware. Any problems reported should be cleared before going further. For more information, refer to Chapter 5 and Chapter 8.

1Connect the logic analyzer to the host PC.

2Set up the logic analyzer:

a Wait for the logic analyzer power-up to complete.

b On the host PC desktop, double-click the Agilent Logic Analyzer icon to launch the application.

c In the Agilent Logic Analyzer application window, ensure the application reports “Online.”

To perform the logic analyzer self-tests

The Self Test menu checks the major hardware functions of the logic analyzer to verify that it is working correctly. Self-tests can be performed all at once or one at a time. While testing the performance of the logic analyzer, run the self-tests all at once. Refer to Chapter 8 for more information on the logic analyzer self-tests.

CAUTION:Because the most recently acquired data will be lost, be sure to save important data before running self tests.

1In the Agilent Logic Analyzer application, choose Help>Self Test... from the main menu.

CAUTION:If you have acquired data, a warning message appears, "Running self-tests will invalidate acquired data"; click OK to continue.
