Agilent 16900 Series Logic Analysis Systems Installation Guide 5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Setting Up Simple Multiframe Configurations 84 Setting Up a Performance Multiframe Configuration 92 Other Multiframe Configuration Notes 97 If you need to make time- correlated measurements with more logic analysis channels than can be installed into a single logic analysis system frame, you can connect multiple 16900A, 16901A, 16902A, and 16902B frames together in a multiframe logic analysis system.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Setting Up Simple Multiframe Configurations Simple multiframe configurations are useful when you are using one or more logic analysis systems in a variety of configurations where sometimes you are using them as distinct analyzers and sometimes you need to use them as a multiframe system to correlate a variety of buses.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Simple 100 Base-T Multiframe Configuration Interface to Corporate LAN 100 Base-T Switch 16901A/902A/902B (or 16900A with monitor) Multiframe Cable 16900A/901A/902A/902B Multiframe Cable 16900A/901A/902A/902B In the simple 100 Base- T multiframe configuration, all of the frames are connected to the network using their 100 Base- T LAN port.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Simple 1000 Base-T Multiframe Configuration Interface to Corporate LAN 1000 Base-T Switch 16901A/902A/902B (or 16900A with monitor) Multiframe Cable 16900A/901A/902A/902B Multiframe Cable 16900A/901A/902A/902B In the simple 1000 Base- T multiframe configuration, all of the frames are connected to the network using their 1000 Base- T LAN port.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Rules for Simple Multiframe Configurations In addition to the earlier guidelines on page 83: • Choose one of the frames to run the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on. If you only run the application on one frame, all your configurations will be there (and will be easier to find). Also, there are I/O and node- locked license file advantages when the application is run on one frame (see “Other Multiframe Configuration Notes” on page 97).
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations 4 Power up all frames. As the operating system loads, it will: • Configure the connection to the corporate LAN. • Start various services. • Start the logic analyzer service. 5 Log in to the frame you chose to run the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on, and wait for the application to start. NOTE Depending on your multiframe connection topology, it may take several seconds for the Agilent Logic Analyzer application to start.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations 6 If you are not able to see the multiframe system in the Overview window, do the following: a Exit the Agilent Logic Analyzer application. b Power down all frames. c Disconnect and reconnect the multiframe cables to all frames. Make sure the output of one frame is connected to the input of the next. d Power up the frames.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations • Run the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on your remote PC and connect to the multiframe system by going online and connecting to the frame. With this option: • Your performance may vary because analyzer data from all logic analysis frames must be sent over LAN to your locally running application.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Creating a Simple 2-Frame w/Crossover Cable Configuration 1 Set up the two frames in the simple 100 Base- T multiframe configuration by following the instructions in “Creating Simple Multiframe Configurations” on page 87. 2 If the Agilent Logic Analyzer application is running on one of the frames, exit the application. 3 Connect a special cross- over LAN cable between the two frames’ 1000 Base- T LAN ports.

5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations In the performance multiframe configuration, you run the Agilent Logic Analyzer application on a high- performance PC or server. This is useful if you trying to maximize multiframe logic analysis system performance.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations • Because the Agilent Logic Analyzer application runs on the performance PC connected remotely to a frame, the frame’s front panel knobs and buttons are not functional. 5 Power down all of the frames and the performance PC. 6 Connect multiframe cables between the frames as shown. (Output open) (Input open) Output Output Input Input One frame’s output is connected to the next frame’s input.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations If the application starts without errors, and the multiframe system appears in the Overview window, you are almost ready to use the multiframe system. Exit the application, and continue on step 10. 9 If you are not able to see the multiframe system in the Overview window on the frame, do the following: a Exit the Agilent Logic Analyzer application. b Power down all frames. c Disconnect and reconnect the multiframe cables between all frames. d Power up all frames.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations 10 Power up the performance PC, log in, start the Agilent Logic Analyzer application, and connect to one of the frames remotely: a When the application is starting and the Offline Startup Options dialog appears, click “Go Online...”. b In the Select System to Use dialog, click “Add System”. c In the Frame Host Name or IP Address dialog, enter the name of the frame, and click “OK”. d Select the system that was just added and click “Details...”.
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations Other Multiframe Configuration Notes Some other things to be aware of when using multiframe configurations: • The multiframe cable is used for time correlation, cross- triggering, and multiframe setup; all other inter- frame communication takes place over LAN. • Network interfaces need to see a direct path to the DHCP server. Otherwise, power- up times will be slow. Use static IP addresses if a direct path to the DHCP server is not available.
