Selecting the Module

Selecting the Module

Before you can program the logic analyzer, you must first "select" it. This directs your commands to the logic analyzer.

To select the module, use the system command :SELect followed by the numeric reference for the slot location of the logic analyzer (1 through 10 refering to slots A through J respectively). For example, if the logic analyzer is in slot E, then the command:

:SELect 5

would select this module. For more information on the select command, refer to the HP 16500/16501A Programmer’s Guide. It is available through your HP Sales Office.
