Processor Support
The SPA tool set supports any
analysis probe listed in the config-
uration guide entitled Processor
and Bus Support for Agilent
Technologies Logic Analyzers
(pub no. 5966-4365E).
Nonintrusive analysis probes pro-
vide reliable, fast, and convenient
connections to your target system.
Object File Format
Compatibility
The object file formats are
identical for the system perfor-
mance analysis and the source
correlation tool sets. See the
information provided for the
source correlation tool set on
page 6.
Product Characteristics
Data Sources
All measurement modules
supported by the 16700A Series
logic analysis systems serve with-
out modification as data sources
for the B4600B. The particular
measurement module used deter-
mines time resolution and
accuracy. Sample rate, channel
count, memory depth and trigger-
ing are controlled by the user
independent of the SPA tool set.

Off-Line Analysis and
Post-Processing
All measurements can be saved
using the file out tool. Data can
be recalled at any time for later
analysis using any SPA or other
tool. Performance measurements
can be exported to your host com-
puter as histograms or as tabular-
formatted text files.
