The Keysight/Agilent/HP E5900A Emulation Probe is a real-time debugging instrument that bridges host computers and embedded target systems for processor emulation and code validation. It provides full processor control—start, stop, reset, and single-step execution—along with program download, memory inspection, and register modification capabilities. The probe connects to target processors via industry-standard debug ports such as JTAG or BDM, enabling developers to set breakpoints and perform advanced on-chip debugging across multiple processor architectures.
