B4620B Source
Correlation Tool Set
The inverse assembler can be used
with the B4620B source correla-
tion tool set. This allows time cor-
relation of an acquired trace to
source code. The source correla-
tion tool set uses the symbolic
information provided in your
object file to build a database of
source files, line numbers and
symbol information.
Once the logic analyzer acquires
the real-time trace, you can step
through the trace at assembly-
code level or source-code level.
You can also easily locate the
cause of a problem by stepping
backward to the root cause. With
time-correlated analysis in both
the digital and analog domains,
Agilent Technologies provides
powerful solutions for your most
difficult hardware/software inte-
gration problems.
IEEE 695, Elf/Dwarf, Elf/Stabs and
ASCII symbol files are supported.
System Correlation
With the Agilent logic analysis sys-
tems, you can time-correlate bus
information from other micro-
processors or bus interfaces in
your system, such as a PCI bus,
with the PPC 603. Analysis probes
are available for additional micro-
processors. (Contact your local
Agilent Test and Measurement
sales office or visit our web site

for more information).
System Performance
Analysis Tool Set
The Agilent system performance
analysis (SPA) tool set is an
optional software package for the
16700A Series logic analysis sys-
tems. The SPA tool set provides
such statistical performance mea-
surements as state overview, state
interval, time interval, and time
overview. The same symbol file
used with the source correlation
tool set provides symbolic support
for the system performance analy-
sis tool set, as shown in figure 7.
Optional Mictor
Connection Solution
If system constraints won’t allow
use of the analysis probe, you can
design high-density AMP Mictor
connectors into your target system
for connection to the microproces-
sor signals. The inverse assembler
can be ordered separately to
provide inverse assembly and
configuration files to set up the
logic analyzer.

Performance Analysis Tool Set
Four E5346A high-density termi-
nation adapters are required for
connection to the logic analyzer
pods. Mictor connectors can be
purchased directly from AMP or
from Agilent Technologies. Five
Mictor connectors and recom-
mended support shrouds are
included in the Agilent E5346-68701
Mictor connector kit.
Low-Cost Option for
Code-Flow Only
Agilent offers a low-cost solution
that provides much of the func-
tionality of an emulation solution
with real-time trace, but at a
reduced cost. By connecting the
logic analyzer to only the address
and status bus, up to 68 channels
of logic analysis can be captured.
The real-time trace will still show
opcode disassembly because the
inverse assembler will read your
S-Record file instead of the data
bus. The tradeoff is that data
reads and writes will be displayed
with no value. Simply swap in
another logic analyzer card and
connect to the data bus if this
functionality is required.
