Chapter 1: Agilent Technologies 16700A/B-Series Logic Analysis System

Overview - Multiple Frames Configuration

The Multi-frame module consists of a hardware module and a cable. It

is used to expand the total number of measurement module slots for

advanced measurements that may require the following:

• High channel count

• Centralized Run/Stop control

• Time correlated data displays

• Cross-frame flag signaling and trigger arming

Multi-frame modules are installed into slot 1 of the mainframe (B-series

only). Up to eight 16700B/16702B mainframes can be connected

together in a Multi-frame group. Each 16700B/16702B mainframe can

in turn have one 16701B expansion frame connected to it, allowing for

a total of up to 80 measurement module slots and 16 emulation module

slots. One Multi-frame module is required for each frame connected

into the Multi-frame group.

For more information on installing Multi-frame modules, see Multi-

frame Installation (see page 80).

NOTE: As with any intermodule measurement involving multiple measurement

modules, each module must be configured properly and be able to run on its

own as a separate module. This will eliminate many problems when you run

them together as a group.

For a typical Multi-frame configuration, setup the following three areas:

1. Multi-frame Configuration

2. Intermodule Configuration

3. Analyzer Trigger Configuration

1. Multi-frame

Configuration

When a Multi-frame module is installed in the frame, a Multi-frame icon

appears in the System window, positioned in the option slot of the rear

panel graphic. Select this icon to access the Multi-frame Config dialog.
