Chapter 3: Testing Performance
To set up the test equipment and the logic analyzer
Set up the 1690A,AD-series logic analyzer
Power-up self tests are done on the logic analyzer system components when
power is applied. Logic analyzer peripheral communication tests are done when
the host PC recognizes the hosted logic analyzer hardware. Any problems
reported should be cleared before going further. For more information, refer to
Chapter 5 and Chapter 8.
1 Connect the logic analyzer to the host PC.
2 Set up the logic analyzer:
a Wait for the logic analyzer power-up to complete.
b On the host PC desktop, double-click the Agilent Logic Analyzer icon to
launch the application.
c In the Agilent Logic Analyzer application window, ensure the
application reports “Online.”
To perform the logic analyzer self-tests
The Self Test menu checks the major hardware functions of the logic analyzer to
verify that it is working correctly. Self-tests can be performed all at once or one at
a time. While testing the performance of the logic analyzer, run the self-tests all at
once. Refer to Chapter 8 for more information on the logic analyzer self-tests.
CAUTION: Because the most recently acquired data will be lost, be sure to save important data
before running self tests.
1 In the Agilent Logic Analyzer application, choose Help>Self Test... from
the main menu.
CAUTION: If you have acquired data, a warning message appears, "Running self-tests will invalidate
acquired data"; click OK to continue.
