Chapter 2, Using the Software/HP 8920B or HP 8920A FW Above Rev. A.14.00
Testing Overview
Selecting a Test Procedure
To load the software, you must first select the location to load from (in this case, it
will be
Card) and a procedure filename. Your card comes pre-programmed with
at least one procedure. The actual software program does not get loaded into the
test set’s memory until k1 (
Run Test) is selected. It will take approximately 15
seconds to load the software in an HP 8920B, and approximately two minutes in
an HP 8920A,D.
The software memory card can be removed after the program is loaded into the
test set’s memory. The program will remain in memory after a power-down/
power-up cycle, unless it is manually deleted or a new program is loaded.
When tests begin to run, they are executed in the order in which they were entered
into the Test Procedure.
Pressing CANCEL will pause the current test (press k2 to continue the test.)
