Post-Processing and Analysis Tool Sets
Tool Development Kit
Customize Your Measurements
The ability to interpret and display
information is vital to your project.
At times the information you need
can be buried in the raw data of your
measurement. This might be due to
one of several reasons:
• The use of a protocol, encoded
data, or proprietary bus
• Events that happen only under
certain conditions
• The need to analyze system
performance
• The need to analyze data across
a large number of repetitive
measurements
Product Description
The Agilent Technologies B4605B tool
development kit provides a complete
environment for creating custom
tools that processes data using the
powerful search and filtering capabil-
ities of the logic analysis system.
Features of the tool kit include:
• Fast, compiled and optimized C
code
• Push button compiling, no make
files
• A rich library of functions that
speeds development
• Extensive examples of code
• The creation of installable tools
• One year of technical support for
the B4605B
Data is processed quickly by the cus-
tom tools, because they consist of
compiled, optimized C code. A C lan-
guage programming background is
highly recommended. A tutorial,
extensive examples, and a rich
library of functions are provided that
help you easily access analyzer data
and the tool's interface.
The custom tools can be used on any
16700 Series logic analysis system.
This allows you to purchase just one
or two copies of the development kit
and develop custom tools to support
a large number of analyzers.
Enhance Data Displays
• Color-code specific states of your
trace.
• Display some of your trace data in
engineering units.
• Convert the raw trace of a propri-
etary bus to a transaction-level
trace of that bus.
Manipulate Data
• Unravel interleaved data into two
or more columns of data.
• Combine the traces of two differ-
ent analyzers into one trace, with
each column being combined or
separately displayed as prescribed
by you.
• Modify your scope trace using an
algorithm developed by you, such
as an analog filter, beat frequency,
or DSP algorithm.
Read or Write External Files
• Accumulate information from
repetitive traces taken by the ana-
lyzer in a file on your PC or UNIX
workstation.
• Write specific types of states or
trace data that have been analyzed
to an Excel consumable ASCII file
on your PC or UNIX workstation.
• Use information read from a file
on your PC or UNIX workstation
to modify the display of an
analyzer trace.
