Data Acquisition and Stimulus
Pattern Generation Modules
Digital Stimulus and Response in a
Single Instrument
Configure the logic analysis
system to provide both stimulus
and response in a single
instrument. For example, the
pattern generator can simulate a
circuit initialization sequence and
then signal the state or timing
analyzer to begin measurements.
Use the compare mode on the
state analyzer to determine if the
circuit or subsystem is functioning
as expected. Time correlate to
an external oscilloscope to help
locate the source of timing
problems or troubleshoot signal
problems due to noise, ringing,
overshoot, crosstalk, or
simultaneous switching.
Parallel Testing of Subsystems
Reduces Time to Market
By testing system subcomponents
before they are complete, you
can fix problems earlier in the
development process. Use the
Agilent 16720A as a substitute
for missing boards, integrated
circuits (ICs), or buses instead
of waiting for the missing pieces.
Software engineers can create
infrequently encountered test
conditions and verify that their
code works—before complete
hardware is available. Hardware
engineers can generate the
patterns necessary to put their
circuit in the desired state,
operate the circuit at full speed
or step the circuit through a
series of states.
