HP 16500C Programmer's Guide

Echoing Commands
To send a command directly from the command line or prompt of your PC or
workstation to the HP 16500C system, echo a text string containing the
command to the file location
\system\program.
In order to send commands to the HP 16500C system parser, you must be
connected to the system as the control user.
Example To run the logic analyzer and acquire data, at the DOS prompt enter:
c:>echo :START > L:\system\program
If you are using a UNIX system, you can use the UNIX echo command.
Example An HP 16550A state/timing analyzer is installed in slot C (slot 3) of your
HP 16500C mainframe. To clear the trigger set-up on the HP 16550A, at the
DOS prompt enter:
c:>echo :SELECT 3 > L:\system\program
c:>echo :MACHINE1:STRIGGER:CLEAR ALL > L:\system\program
If you are using a UNIX system, you can use the UNIX echo command. The
first command selects the state/timing analyzer in slot C. The second
command clears the trigger.
