Product Characteristics
Data Sources
All state and timing measurement
modules supported by the 16700A
Series logic analysis systems
(except the 16517A/518A) serve as
data sources for the source corre-
lation tool set.
Microprocessor Support
The source correlation tool set
supports many of the most popular
embedded microprocessors using
nonintrusive analysis probes for
the 16700A Series systems to pro-
vide reliable, fast and convenient
connections to your target system.
New microprocessors are con-
stantly being added to the list of
supported CPUs. For the most
current information about
supported microprocessors,

Object File Format
Compatibility
The 16700A Series logic analysis
systems quickly and reliably read
your specific object file format.
Agilent Technologies’ experience
with different file formats and
symbol representations translates
into confidence that your source
code files are accurately correlat-
ed and your system is precisely
characterized.
Source correlation and system
performance measurements do
not require any change in your
software generation process. No
modification or recompilation of
your source code is required.
You can load multiple object files.
Address offsets are also support-
ed, enabling system performance
measurements and source-code
level views of dynamically loaded
software execution or code moved
from ROM to RAM during a boot-
up sequence.
High-level language tools that pro-
duce the following file formats are
supported:
• HP/MRI IEEE695
• ELF/DWARF*
• ELF/Stabs*
• TI_COFF
• COFF/Stabs*
• Intel OMF86
• Intel OMF96
• Intel OMF 286
• Intel OMF 386 (which supports
Intel80486 and Pentium Language)
*Supports C++ name de-mangling
If your language system does not
generate output in one of the list-
ed formats, a generic ASCII file
format is also supported.

formats and processor support,

Source File Access
The source correlation tool set
must be able to access source files
to provide source line referencing.
Source files can reside in multiple
directories on the hard drive of
your workstation, PC, or on the
16700A Series mainframe’s inter-
nal hard disk. You can access the
files via NFS-mounted disks or
CIFS mounted disks. To display
the source file, the tool set first
looks for the source path name in
the object file, follows the path to
access the source file, and if not
found, looks for the source file in
alternate user-defined directories.
The 16700A Series logic analysis
systems automatically place the
following in the directory search
path:
• NFS mounted directories
• Directory paths specified in
loaded symbol files
• Directory paths specified in
loaded source files
Source Correlation
Functionality
• Source code and inverse
assembled trace listing are
time-correlated.
• Ability to alternate between
source viewer and browsing of
other-source files.
• Trace specification can be set up
from the source viewer or file
browser.
• For multiple-processor systems,
each trace window can be time-
correlated to a source viewer.
