Quickstart

The following is a short description of how to connect to an HP 16600 / 16700 logic analyzer, set-up some basic configuration and collect data

Prerequisites

  • Make sure that your HP logic analyzer is powered-on, and you have a running GUI session

  • It’s not possible to connect to the RPI interface when no GUI session is active

  • The RPI interface should be enabled by default, but you can get more information on how to enable it in the user guide

  • If you’re having connection issues, try connecting via telnet on port 6500

Establishing a connection

The first step is to connect to the logic analyzer:

>>> c = LogicAnalyzer("192.168.0.20")

Next, get a list a logic analyzer modules in the frame and use the first:

>>> modules = c.get_modules()
>>> analyzer = modules[0]

Basic configuration

Now that we have a logic analyzer module selected, we can perform some basic configuration:

>>> analyzer.set_pods("A1,A2")
>>> analyzer.set_label("ADDR", "A1[15:0]")
>>> analyzer.set_label("DATA", "A2[7:0]")

>>> analyzer.set_trigger("ADDR=#hFFXX")
>>> analyzer.set_mode("stnorn")

Once the logic analyzer has been configured, we can start it and poll its status

>>> analyzer.start()
>>> analyzer.running()
True
>>> analyzer.running()
False

Collecting data

Now that it’s finished, we can collect the data

>>> analyzer.get_listing()
