New Toy HP16500A, Need Help to use

Apr 15, 2007 2 Replies

Hello,



I just got a 16500A w/16532(1GSs Digitizing Scope) and 16550 (100Mhz State-500Mhz Timing) analyzer off ebay and I'm trying to use it but I'm having a little trouble. This equipment has so many bells and whistles I need to dig though them all.



I have hooked up leads 0-1 on POD E1 to the in and out of a serial line (using max232) and I'm trying to trigger on a keypress but I can't figure out the trigger menu. I set up a level 1 trigger on edge 1 (set to a 1) occurs once else no state go to level 1. I would expect the analyzer to sit and wait until a positive going edge is seen then record, it isn't, it imediately records.



Anyone have one of these and can help me out I'd appreciate some help.

Ron - You can find the technical manuals on the Agilent website.

This is the manual for the 'B' version, however. Have fun jim

Thanks Jim, I already have all the manuals for my modules. I just can't seem to make the trigger work properly.
