Introduction to State Analysis

Set Up the State Clock

Set Up the State Clock

The state clock is a signal from the system under test that clocks the analyzer, causing the analyzer to sample and store data.

1Press the Format MENU key.

2Highlight the Master Clock field in the upper center of the display. Press the Select key.

Your display will look different from the one shown in the figure below if you are using an HP 1662, 1663, 1664, or an HP 1672 analyzer. There are fewer clock lines available on these analyzers than on an HP 1661, which was used to create the figure.

3Highlight the J field, and press the Select key. Highlight the ↓ (down arrow) in the pop-up menu, and press the Select key. If you are using an HP 1670 series analyzer, you also need to set the L field to OFF.

4Press the Done key to close the Master Clock pop-up menu.

The down arrow represents a negative edge. The negative edge of the clock is used to get the best results from the training board.
