Program Operation
The Operation Verification program uses the HP
8568A/B
CRT to
display program options and status, and allows the user to select
options using the spectrum analyzer keyboard. The first few displays
provide the user with selection menus for configuring the software to
the available test equipment.
After the program name and revision is displayed for several seconds,
the LIST OF DEFAULTS display appears, providing the user with a
selection menu. At this point in the program, the user must enter the
HP model numbers and HP-IB addresses of the test equipment that
will be used, as well as the local ac power line frequency. To change
one of the entries, position the pointer using the front-panel knob and
press (Hz). Then, enter the appropriate HP-IB address, serial number,
line frequency, or one of the valid model numbers listed in
‘lhble
5-4.
It is sometimes desirable to perform specific Operation Verification
tests without the full set of test equipment listed in
‘Ihble
5-4.
For example, several of the tests can be performed with no test
equipment by using the spectrum analyzer CAL OUTPUT signal as an
input signal. If an item of test equipment is not available, it is not
necessary to change the corresponding default entries in the LIST OF
DEFAULTS display.
From the LIST OF DEFAULTS display, the user may proceed with the
program by pressing [Hz. However, a valid power sensor calibration
