HP 16500B File System Directory Structure
The 1st_line.txt File The 1st_line.txt file lists the number of the
first line of the most recent data acquisition.
This file shows the number of states that occur before the trigger state, which
is always state zero (at line number 0). You can use this information to align
data from different measurements.
Time Tag and State Tag Data If time tags have been turned on, the
time_abs.txt file contains a column of time values for the most
current state or timing measurement.
If state tags have been turned on, the state_abs.txt file contains a
column of state count values for the most current state measurement.
Line Numbers The line_num.txt file contains line numbers
corresponding to the lines of data in a state listing.
HP 16550A State/Timing Analyzer Subdirectories and Files
If you are using an HP 16550A 100-MHz state/500-MHz timing analyzer, the
slot_x directory contains a subdirectory called data.asc that contains
ASCII measurement data.
There are two subdirectories attached to the data.asc directory, one for
each of the two analyzers in the HP 16550A (if they are turned on in the
Configuration Menu). The default names of these subdirectories are
machine1 and machine2, but they will change whenever the analyzer
names are changed in the Configuration Menu.
