If You Have a Problem

Occasionally, a measurement may not give the expected results. If you encounter difficulties while making measurements, use this chapter to guide you through some possible solutions. Each heading lists a problem you may encounter, along with some possible solutions. Error messages which may appear on the logic analyzer are listed below in quotes “ ”. Symptoms are listed without quotes.

If you still have difficulty using the analyzer after trying the suggestions in this chapter, please contact your local Hewlett-Packard service center.

When you are working with the analyzer, be sure to power down both the analyzer and the target system before disconnecting or connecting cables, probes, and preprocessors. Otherwise, you may damage circuitry in the analyzer, preprocessor, or target system.
