The HP 16500A is a mainframe of the HP Logic Analysis System. The 16500A/16501A is of modular structure using plug-in cards with a wide range of data acquisition and stimulus capabilities, such as state, timing, oscilloscope, and pattern generator. This allows the user to configure the system with only the necessary modules for a particular application.

The HP 16501A is the add-on mainframe for expanding the module capacity of the HP 16500A. When the HP 16501A is connected to the HP 16500A, they function as a single nine-card system which is turned on and controlled by the HP 16500A. The HP 16501A forms a tightly coupled system with the HP 16500A, permitting each of the two mainframes to arm or trigger any module from any other module.

The Logic Analysis System provides both experienced and first-time users with powerful measurement capabilities. The pop-up menus and color graphics lead you through setups and measurements quickly and easily, without the need to memorize a lot of steps. By touching the appropriate fields or using the cursor of either the optional mouse or keyboard, you can perform functions, configure menus, and move from one menu to another.

When the instrument is powered up, pre-determined values are automatically assigned to the different fields of the menus to configure the instrument for basic measurements. This allows you to make a basic measurement by turning on the instrument, connecting the probes, and touching the Run field. Often only minor changes are needed for more complex measurements.

With the intermodule capabilities of the Logic Analysis System, you can make interactive measurements between modules. This allows you to configure modules to interact with each other, using the triggering capabilities of one module and the acquisition capabilities of another to make measurements.
