The Keysight/Agilent/HP 16550A is a 102-channel state and timing analyzer module engineered for the HP/Agilent 16500 Logic Analysis System. This dual-function module captures both state and timing data across digital circuits without requiring probe repositioning, delivering acquisition rates up to 100 MHz for state analysis and 250 MHz for conventional timing (500 MHz in half-channel mode). Advanced triggering with up to 12 sequence levels at 125 MHz maximum rate enables detection of intermittent faults using trigger macros, range recognizers, and counter timers.

## Key Features
• Transitional timing mode preserves memory by capturing only state changes
• State and timing measurements displayed time-correlated on single screen
• Supports multiple clocking modes: master, slave, and demultiplexed
• Interchangeable probes across all channels for state or timing operation
• Display modes include state listing, waveforms, timing listings, and comparative analysis
• Supports binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, ASCII, two’s complement, and user-defined symbol bases
• Symbol library: up to 1,000 symbols downloadable via RS-232 or HP-IB
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for the HP/Agilent 16500 Logic Analysis System. Modules mount using proprietary interface. Two 16550A cards can be combined to expand channel capacity to 204. Probing scheme enables straightforward interchange of interconnections across the platform.
