I have been rearranging my storage area and uncovered
a HP 1611A Logic State
Analyser fitted with a Z80 option that I picked up a few years ago.
I have no idea what one would do with this. Should I cherish it? Play with
it?
Does one need the specific manual or are these generic and perhaps explained
in standard texts?
There are a number of plugin points for various types of probes, none of
which I have off course. It powers up fine though.
If you don't have the probes, it won't be very interesting to play with.
Unless the Z80 option includes a pod that attaches to a Z80, then you
should cherish it :-) The only LA I've used was an Arium ML4100, but you
should be able to do interesting things without a manual. You'll probably
need the specific HP manual if you want to set complex triggers, but you
should be able to do some simple CPU tracing without the manual (I would
think).
