What kind of interface do you use? Wrote something

GPIB. I'm planning to rewrite the communication section to use RS232 at some
point.
That sounds interesting! Does it mean, the analyzer
does the operations? I know, that such software was
available for these analyzers and I'd be interested
in this stuff.
Can the code be modified (e.g. is it possible to implement
an other CPU?)?
The Inverse Assembler toolkit was on Agilent's FTP site a few years ago. I'm
not sure where you could get a copy now, though. The assembler works fine on
pretty much any machine, but IALDOWN is very fussy.
Depends on what communication library you used...
The National Instruments GPIB library, under Delphi for the IAL uploader and
under MinGW (read: "GCC for Win32") for the symbol table uploader.
One major limitation is that you can't have more than 200 symbols in the
analyser's symbol memory at once. It's great for spotting hardware access
patterns, but not much good if you're debugging a multi-Kbyte PC BIOS.
Thanks.
