Chapter 3: Testing Performance

Prepare the logic analysis system for testing

1 Turn on the logic analysis system.

a Connect the keyboard and monitor to the rear panel of the logic

analysis mainframe (16700B only).

b Connect the mouse to the rear panel of the mainframe.

c Plug in the power cord to the power connector on the rear panel of the

mainframe.

d Turn on the main power switch on the mainframe front panel.

While the logic analysis system is booting, observe the boot dialogue for the following:

• ensure all of the installed memory is recognized

• any error messages

• interrupt of the boot process with or without error message

A complete transcript of the boot dialogue is in the Agilent Technologies 16700B-

series Logic Analysis System Service Guide, Chapter 8, "Theory of Operation.”

2 During initialization, check for any failures.

If an error or an interrupt occurs, refer to the Agilent Technologies 16700B-series

Logic Analysis System Service Guide, Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting.” Note that if an

Agilent 16760A module is temporarily installed in a mainframe only to test the

performance of the module, then the mainframe may report that the module will

require an operational accuracy calibration. This is expected, and step 4 in this

procedure will clear this error message.

3 Do a self-test on the logic analysis system.

a When the logic analysis system has finished booting and the System

window appears (that is, a session has started), click on the System

Administration icon.

b Under the Admin tab, click on Self-Test... in the query pop-up, select

Yes to exit the current session.

The Self-Test closes the current session because the test algorithms leave the system

in an unknown state. Re-launching the session at the end of the self-test will ensure

the system is properly initialized.

c In the Self-Test window select Test All.

When the tests are finished, the Status will change to Passed or Failed. You can find

detailed information about the test results in the Status Message field of the Self-Test

window.
