Agilent/Keysight 16510B

The Agilent/Keysight 16510B is an 80-channel logic analyzer module designed to expand the Agilent/Keysight 16500A mainframe with dual-mode state and timing analysis for digital circuit debugging and verification. State analysis operates at up to 35 MHz with 1024 samples per channel and 60 ns minimum state intervals. Timing analysis reaches 100 MHz with 5 ns glitch detection and transitional timing mode that extends memory to 5000 seconds at 10 ns resolution.

The module supports asynchronous pattern triggering, glitch/edge detection, and five independent clock inputs with four qualifiers. Five input pods accommodate passive probes requiring 600 mVp-p minimum swing, with individually configurable thresholds from −9.9 V to +9.9 V in 0.1 V increments and dynamic range of ±10 V about threshold. Time correlation and simultaneous state/state or state/timing analysis operate across the 16500A intermodule bus.

Preprocessor adapters enable direct microprocessor support for Intel, Motorola, Zilog, National, Hitachi, GTE, Rockwell, and NEC architectures, with software conversion of state data to mnemonics.
