Using SPA with other features
Programming with SPA
SPA is programmable. Refer to the Agilent Technologies 1670G Series
Logic Analyzers Programmer's Guide for SPA commands. The
Programmer's Guide is available as an option with the logic analyzer.
Contact your Agilent Technologies Sales Office for more information.
Changing between SPA and a State/Timing Analyzer
If you have configured a state or timing analyzer in the logic analyzer,
you can quickly change to SPA, or from SPA to a state or timing
analyzer. You can use the same Format Specification in your SPA
measurements as you did in your state or timing analysis
measurements.
To change between a state analyzer and SPA, go to the Analyzer
Configuration menu, select the Type field, and select SPA from the list.
When SPA is selected, a separate trace specification definition is used.
Even though the Qualified State Histogram and Time Interval modes
use the same pattern recognizers as SPA, the SPA definitions are kept
separate from those entered in the state or timing analyzer mode. As a
result, switching between SPA and state or timing recovers the user's
original pattern recognizers for the selected mode.
Any Symbols in the Format Specification will also carry over to SPA.
