Controlling Multiple Test Sets
Option 001 for the 851x-series and 85110L test sets allows an 8510 to alternately control up to four
test sets. While a measurement is proceeding on test set number 1, which is equipped with
Option 001, test device hookup can be accomplished on test set number 2, which does not need to be
equipped with Option 001, unless another test set is to be connected. When the measurement on
test set number 1 is complete, the 8510 can control test set number 2.
Operational Tests
Your system should be installed, turned on, and have the correct machine dump file from the 85108
system configuration disk loaded at this point. If it is, continue with this section. If it is not, return
to Chapter 2, “System Installation.”
Operational tests provide you with the assurance that your system is functioning. Operational tests
do not indicate if the system is operating within its specifications. Perform these tests after the
system is installed for the first time and when any part the system is repaired.
If any of the operational tests fail, refer to “Troubleshooting Strategy” on page 6-2 for more
information.
The instrument and hardware states of each operational test are contained on the 85108L System
Configuration disk. The configurations for these operator's tests are located in instrument states 1
through 8 of your network analyzer, provided you performed the system installation procedures. If
not, refer to Appendix C, “Loading the System Configuration Disk,” to load the machine dump file
for the pulsed-RF configuration.
Operational Test Procedure
1. The test ports are both “open” (nothing connected to them) for these tests.
2. Press
RECALL [INSTRUMENT STATE] [1]. Compare the network analyzer display to Figure 3-3.
