System Overview
Features and Benefits
System Capability
NEW Touch Screen Interface The Agilent 16702B mainframe supports a large, 12.1 inch LCD touch screen and redesigned front panel
controls for an easy-to-operate, self-contained unit requiring minimal bench space and offering simple
portability.
NEW Multiframe Configuration By connecting up to eight mainframes and expanders you can simultaneously view time-correlated traces for
all buses in a large channel count, multibus system.
NEW Enhanced Mainframe Hardware Mainframe now includes a 40X CD-ROM drive, a 9 GB hard disk drive, 100BaseT-X LAN, and 128 MB of
internal system RAM (optional 256 MB total).

Measurement Modules/Interfaces
The Agilent 16760A With up to 1.5 Gb/s state speed, the 16760A lets you debug today’s and tomorrow’s ultra-high-speed
State/Timing Module digital buses. NEW Eye scan gives a rapid comprehensive overview of signal integrity on hundreds of
channels simultaneously
The Agilent 16750A, 16751A, With up to 400 MHz state speed and up to 32 MBytes of trace depth these modules help you address today’s
and 16752A State/Timing Modules high-performance measurement requirements. (See page 19)
The Agilent 16720A With up to 16 MVectors depth and 300 MVectors/sec operation and up to 240 channels[1] of stimulus, the
Pattern Generator 16720A provides a new level of capability that makes complex device substitution a reality. Supports TTL,
CMOS, 3.3V, 1.8V, LVDS, 3-state, ECL, PECL, and LVPECL.
High-Speed Bus Measurements Agilent’s eye finder technology automatically adjusts the setup and hold on every channel, eliminating the
Made Simple with Eye Finder need for manual adjustment and ensuring accurate state measurements on high-speed buses.
Technology
Timing Zoom Technology Simultaneously acquire data at up to 2 GHz timing and 400 MHz state through the same connection. Timing
Zoom is available across all channels, all the time. (See page 23)
VisiTrigger Technology • Use graphical views and sentence-like structure to help you define a trace event.
• Select trigger functions as individual trigger conditions or as building blocks to easily customize a trigger
for your specific task.
Processor and Bus Support • Get control over your microprocessor’s internal and external data.
• Quickly and reliably connect to the device under test. (See page 36)
Direct Links to Industry Standard • Debuggers provide visibility into software execution for systems running software written in C and C++ as
Debuggers and High-Level well as active microprocessor execution control (run control).
Language Tools • Import symbol files created by your language tool. Symbols allow you to set up trigger conditions and review
waveform and state listings in easily recognized terms that relate directly to the names used for signals on
your target and the functions and variables in your code.
Direct Links to EDA Tools • Use captured logic analysis waveforms to generate simulation test vectors.
• Easily find problems by comparing captured waveforms with simulated waveforms.
[1] 240 channel system consists of five 16720A pattern generator modules with 48 channels per module. Full channel mode runs at 180 MVectors/s and 8 MVectors depth.
300 MVectors/s and 16 MVectors depth are offered in half channel mode.
