I'm about to purchase an N4220B Packet Analysis Probe For PCI Express but it does not include any software CD-ROM for my 16700 Logic Analyzer. Without the software, the probe isuseless. The N4220B user's guide states that there should be a CD-ROM named “N4220A PCI Express Analysis Probe Support Package” but I have not been able to find it on the Internet.

Could someone please send me a download link to this software or CD-ROM? I'm would also consider purchasing a hard-copy.

Thanks!

Another post in this forum (view topic) leads to the release notes for the 16700 system software (http://software.cos.agilent.com/LogicAn ... s_0290.txt). The release notes seem to indicate that the N4220B software is included on the 16700 system software CD-ROM. I ordered the CD-ROM to find out since I can't locate my copy.

Can anyone confirm that the 16700 CD-ROM contains the needed software to operate the N4220B probe?

Thanks.

I, unfortunately, don't have any way to verify this, since I don't have a 16700 any more, and Agilent employees are just straggling back from the holiday shutdown. The one person that I know would be able to answer this question won't be back for several more days.

There were no separate CD's for the 16700 SW. I looked back through my collection to verify that part of the issue. That, along with my memory, implies that the N4220B is on the CD that you have ordered.

Make sure that you are getting more than just the N4220B. You also have to have the necessary connection to the PCI Express bus, otherwise it will be of no use to you. This would mean one or more of the following: N4221A, N4222A, ..., N4228A.
