Source Correlation
Product Characteristics
Data Sources
All state and timing measurement
modules supported by the 16700
Series logic analysis systems (except
the 16517A/518A) serve as data
sources for the source correlation
tool set.
Microprocessor Support
The source correlation tool set sup-
ports many of the most popular
embedded microprocessors Non-
intrusive analysis probes for the
16700 Series systems provide reli-
able, fast and convenient connections
to your target system.
New microprocessors are constantly
being added to the list of supported
CPUs. For the most current informa-
tion about supported microproces-
sors, please contact your Agilent
Technologies sales representative or

Object File Format Compatibility
The 16700 Series logic analysis sys-
tems quickly and reliably read your
specific object file format. Agilent
Technologies' extensive experience
with different file formats and sym-
bol representations ensures that your
source code files are accurately cor-
related and your system is precisely
characterized.
Source correlation and system per-
formance measurements do not
require any change in your software
generation process. No modification
or recompilation of your source code
is required.
You can load multiple object files.
Address offsets are also supported,
enabling system performance meas-
urements and source-code level views
of dynamically loaded software exe-
cution or code moved from ROM to
RAM during a boot-up sequence.
High-level language tools that pro-
duce the following file formats are
supported:
• Agilent(HP)/MRI IEEE696
• ELF/DWARF*
• ELF/Stabs*
• TI_COFF
• COFF/Stabs*
• Intel OMF86
• Intel OMF96
• Intel OMF 286
• Intel OMF 386 (which supports
Intel80486 and Pentium Language)
*Supports C++ name de-mangling
If your language system does not gen-
erate output in one of the listed for-
mats, a generic ASCII file format is
also supported.
For the most current information
about supported compiler file for-
mats and processor support, please

sales representative.
Source File Access
The source correlation tool set must
be able to access source files to pro-
vide source line referencing.
Source files can reside in multiple
directories on the hard drive of your
workstation, PC, or on the 16700
Series mainframe's internal hard
disk. You can access the files via NFS-
mounted disks or CIFS mounted
disks. To display the source file, the
tool set first looks for the source path
name in the object file, follows the
path to access the source file and, if
not found, looks for the source file in
alternate user-defined directories.
The 16700 Series logic analysis
systems automatically place the
following in the directory search
path:
• NFS mounted directories
• Directory paths specified in
loaded symbol files
• Directory paths specified in
loaded source files
Source Correlation Functionality
• Source code and inverse
assembled trace listing are time-
correlated.
• User can alternate between source
viewer and browsing of other
source files.
• Trace specification can be set up
from the source viewer or file
browser.
• For multiple-processor systems,
each trace window can be
time-correlated to a source viewer.
