Saving and Loading Logic Analyzer Configurations
Saving and Loading Logic Analyzer
Configurations
The Agilent Technologies 16750A/B logic analyzer settings and data
can be saved to a configuration file.
The configuration file will include references to any custom trigger
libraries you have created, but if the configuration is loaded into an
analyzer on a system that does not have the trigger libraries, they will
not work correctly.
You can also save any tools connected to the logic analyzer. Later, you
can restore your data and settings by loading the configuration file into
the logic analyzer.
The Agilent Technologies 16750A/B logic analyzer can load
configurations for Agilent Technologies 16715A, 16716A, and 16717A
logic analyzers with no restrictions.
The Agilent Technologies 16750A/B logic analyzer can also load
configuration files generated for the Agilent Technologies 16550A,
16554A, 16555A, 16555D, 16556A, 16556D, 16557D, 16710A, 16711A,
16712A, and 16600A-series logic analyzer modules, but much of the
triggering setup will not transfer. Labels, pod and clock assignments,
and the measurement mode will still work. Setup-and-hold values are
translated by preserving the hold value and adjusting setup
accordingly.
Note that while the eye finder (automatic sampling position
adjustment) selected sampling positions are saved and loaded with
logic analyzer configuration files, eye finder measurement data is not.
You can save eye finder data to separate files (see “To automatically
adjust sampling positions” on page 47).
