In This Book

This programmer’s guide contains general information, mainframe level commands, and programming examples for programming the HP 16500C/16501A Logic Analysis System. This guide focuses on how to program the system over the HP-IB interface, but also briefly explains how to use the RS-232-C and LAN interfaces. The Logic Analysis System cannot be programmed over the 16505 interface.

This guide provides a complete set of programming information for your system.

Organization

When you received your HP 16500C Programmer’s Guide you received two binders, Volume 1 and Volume 2. The Volume 2 binder gives you a place to insert the module programmer’s guides when the Volume 1 binder is full.

As you purchase additional measurement modules, insert their programmer’s guides in the back of this binder or in the second binder.
