The Agilent/Keysight 16602A is a 102-channel logic analysis mainframe for digital circuit debugging and state/timing analysis. This HP 16600A Series instrument delivers simultaneous logic and emulation capabilities with configurable memory architecture and multiple time-correlated measurement views. The system supports both state and timing analysis via two independent state machines or one combined state/timing machine, enabling comprehensive protocol and signal characterization across embedded designs.
