HP1660 Logic Analyser and communicating through X Windows setup.
Tom Swift:
*** SEE MY POST BELOW ON HOW TO SETUP X-WINDOWS ON A WINDOWS PC TO CONNECT TO THE HP1660 ***
Hi. Apologies if this had been discussed before. I could not find a thread on here to explain this.
I've been playing with this machine and using it for testing signals which works perfect. The documentation is great for explaining how it works.
I made the mistake of digging deeper into its functionality and seeing if I can hook this thing up to my PC through X Windows. Unfortunately, there is no documentation that I can find to explain this process, (and what's available in either the documentation or the machine itself is poor). The machine does have an Ethernet socket.
Thanks,
Tom

Seems straightforward to me, as long as you have a UNIX or UNIX-like OS on your LAN running the X server.
Tom Swift:
Ah... gotcha. Refer to page 494 of this document previous poster sent. Sorry about that. Guess I needed another pair of eyeballs. Thanks.

No problem. Hope that gets you up and running. :-+

If you're not a long-time UNIX user you probably want to play with using a Linux VM (or two) to learn how X works across a network, and what you need to do to make it work these days (by default X normally doesn't listen on the network any more).
Some rough notes:
On the display machine, once you've enabled network listening (assume you're on a trusted network) you run "xhost +" to enable any network users to connect (due to the way X works this is a pretty big security hole, so only do it on a network you fully trust).
On another VM, at a console or SSH you can do something like "DISPLAY=<IP of display>:0 xterm" to pop up an xterm (choose whatever X program you like) on display 0 of the target machine.
Once you have that working, it should be more obvious how to make the analyzer work.
There are (or at least were) X server implementations for Windows, but I've not used one in a very long time, MacOS X also used to have an easily installable optional X server, but I've also not used it in a long time.
