Applications
The HP 16500A is a modular logic analysis system mainframe introduced by Hewlett-Packard in the mid-1980s. It serves as the chassis and controller for a family of interchangeable measurement modules — state analyzers, timing analyzers, and oscilloscope modules — making it a versatile platform for digital hardware development and verification. This service manual is the primary reference for technicians performing maintenance, board-level repair, or calibration on a 16500A mainframe. It is used by engineers maintaining vintage HP logic analyzers still in operation in legacy production and R&D environments, as well as collectors and repair specialists working on classic HP test equipment. The 16500A and its successor the 16500B were widely used through the late 1980s and 1990s in electronics design labs, semiconductor development, and embedded systems work. HP-IB (the HP implementation of IEEE-488 / GPIB) and RS-232-C interface coverage in this manual reflects the standard instrument connectivity of that era. Technicians maintaining or restoring a 16500A mainframe will find the replaceable parts list, troubleshooting flow charts, and board replacement procedures in this manual essential references.
This HP 16500A Logic Analysis System Mainframe Service Manual (P/N 16500-90901) has been inspected and is in good used condition. The cover shows normal shelf wear — consistent with a working-copy manual from the late 1980s — and the spine is intact. All pages appear present and legible based on our inspection. This manual covers instruments with serial numbers prefixed 2650A and was printed in September 1987. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
