I think that the HP-UX Unix program, bdftopcf, can be used to perform
the font conversion. It can often be found in /usr/bin/X11 .
I think that the HP-UX Unix program, gzip, can be used to perform the
.gz format compression. It can often be found in /usr/contrib/bin .
You might also find the HP-UX Unix program, mkfontdir, useful.
It often can be found in /usr/bin/X11 .
I will attach all three HP-UX programs for you.

Hi Dennis.

I don't use Unix, sorry

"x-windows app's, running on winxp32."

I'm using WinaXe Plus, hopping to find some one who made this Font already or have them installed in their system.

Thinking to install Linux, will see :?

Other think, there is any way to write software for the analyzer, so i can teach this old dog for a new trick ??
Was thinking to make 232,i2c,spi type serial analyzer using 16510 or 16515 modules, like a sniffer just to look for data, trigger scope on a specific value, etc.. Where would be a god start to do that ? Not much of info on the web fro them...

Thanks
Csaba

Hi Steve,

I believe that Cygwin 1.5.2507 by Redhat is available for free download
and contains a version of bdftopcf.exe and a version of mkfontdir.exe .
You can download this for free from www.softpedia.com .
You will need to register in order to perform the download.
I think that Redhat only seeks fees for maintenance.
Donations are optional.

Also, GNU free software foundation has a version of gzip.exe
which is attached.

There is one more small problem I having with this x-win option.
For some reason I don't see the logic waveform's, but scope works fine.
Any idea why ? Not an expert in linux or unix, can't think on anything where to look to fix it.

Any help would be welcome.

Here is a group run of the 1GHz timing and the scope together.
Any idea's ?

Hi Steve,

Yes, I think that I know why the scope display is not coming to you
remotely while the analyzer display is coming to you remotely.

The 16500C was designed in an earlier era when performance was
not as easily achieved directly as it is presently.

In order to achieve higher performance of the waveform displays,
the code inside the 16500C writes directly to the display memory.
This is very efficient and fast, but it bypasses the normal buffering
locations from which the remote display export routines would fetch
the display data and send it to a remote display.
So, you are not going to find window handling routines which will be
able to send the waveform window to you.

ohh, now I do remember read this somewhere before...

Any IDA how to write software for the various card's ?
Can't believe I can buy a MCU based USB serial analyzer for I2C, SPI, SMBus, USART for $80, my 16500c should be able to do the same, has a great hardware just need new app's for it..
