System Terminology
System Terminology
New Terms
Some of the terminology used in your logic analysis system has
changed with the release of the Agilent Technologies 16600A/16700A
series. If you are familiar with certain terminology, use this page to
identify system components by their old and new name.
For a full list of current system terminology, see the Glossary of System
Terms (see page 203).
• Old: preprocessor New: analysis probe
This hardware device is connected between your target system and a logic
analyzer to gather signals for analysis and display.
• Old: software analyzer New: source correlation tool set
This software add-on allows you to correlate your trace data with the
source code that was used to generate the running program. The window
in which the decoded instructions are displayed is called the source
viewer.
• Old: processor probe New: emulation module/emulation probe
These devices connect between your target system and your logic analysis
system for run/stop/break control of your target processor. An emulation
module plugs into a card slot in your logic analysis system, while an
emulation probe is an external device which can connect directly to your
logic analysis system or to a local network.
Other Terms • state measurements may be referred to in the industry as synchronous or
periodic measurements.
• timing measurements may be referred to in the industry as asynchronous
measurements.
