Performance Verification Procedure
Connect the computer and allow the system to warm up.
1. Connect the computer GPIB to the network analyzer GPIB. Connect a 3.5" floppy disk drive to
the computer GPIB and set the disk drive GPIB address to 0.
2. Turn-on procedure:
a. Turn on the instruments in the pulsed-RF system (network analyzer last). The system
requires approximately one hour to stabilize at its operating temperature. Perform the next
two steps (load BASIC and BIN files, and run the performance verification software) while
the system is stabilizing.
b. Set the network analyzer to use USER PRESET by pressing
SYSTEM [HP-IB CONFIGURE]
[HP-IB USES USER PRESET]
. USER PRESET should be underlined.
Load BASIC and BIN Files
The performance verification program will run on most HP 9000 series 200 and 300 computers,
except for a 9826 because of its limited CRT display.
3. BASIC loading procedure:
a. While the computer is OFF, insert the HP BASIC language system disk in the default drive
(typically 0). Then turn the computer ON.
b. When BASIC is loaded, the drive LED will go off and a prompt will appear on the computer
display: BASIC Ready. Remove the disk.
c. Insert the Language Extensions disk in the drive and—one at a time—load the following
files. For example:
Type: LOAD BIN “ERR”
Language Extension files: ERR, CLOCK, GRAPH, MAT, IO
Then press CONTINUE on the computer keyboard. When the file is loaded the drive LED
will go OFF. After loading all the Extensions, remove the disk. Insert the Drivers disk and
load the following files in the same manner as you loaded the Extension files.
Driver files: HPIB, (DISC and CS80 for stand alone drives)
After loading all the drivers, remove the disk.
Run the Specifications and Performance Verification Software
4. Insert the 8510 Specification and Performance Verification software disk into the default drive
or the drive you specify as the MSI (mass storage is). Type the load command and the filename
as shown below, then press
RETURN or ENTER. Be sure to type the filename exactly as shown.
Type: load “SPECS_8510”
RETURN/ENTER
Type: run RETURN/ENTER
