Preprocessor File Configuration Translation and Pod Connections
Preprocessor configuration files from an HP 16550A can be used by
the HP16554A, 16555A, and 16555D logic analyzers. However, some
pods must be connected differently in order for the configuration files
to work properly. The tables on the next several pages provide
information on what configuration files to load and the required
connections between the preprocessor interface and the HP 16554A,
16555A, and 16555D pods.
In the tables, expansion and master card pods are referred to as either
A or B pods. Those designations are done for convenience. The letter
designation of pods in your system will depend on the slots in which
your cards reside. They may use any letter from A through E for the
16500 Logic Analysis System mainframe, or F through J for the
16501A Expander Frame
In a five-card system, for example, the master card pods would be
labeled C. The expansion card pods then would be labeled A, B, D,
and E. Look at the Format menu for the slot designators for
expansion cards in your system.
The following three tables provide configuration file names and pod
connections for older microprocessors. Look in the microprocessor-
specific preprocessor manual for configuration and connection
information for newer microprocessors.
