Operating the Agilent Technologies 83212D Software

Getting started

Operating the software with an HP/Agilent 8922

Compatibility The 83212D software is compatible with any HP/Agilent 8922

(excluding the HP/Agilent 8922A and HP/Agilent 8922B) that contains

ﬁrmware revisions C.01.00, B.07.04 and later. Note that the software

may work with older ﬁrmware revisions but this has not been fully

tested.

Installed

ﬁrmware version

To determine the ﬁrmware version installed, use the knob on the front

panel of the HP/Agilent 8922 to navigate to the CONFIG screen. The

ﬁrmware revision is displayed in the bottom half of this screen, for

example B.07.02.

Before running the Pre-Deﬁned Test Procedures, you must load the

Agilent 83212D Mobile Station Measurement Test Software into the

HP/Agilent 8922.

RX Usable Input

Level Range RF

Level

Parameter number 29, RX Usable Input Level Range RF Level,

used in TEST_10, has a new default value of -15 dBm (changed from

-19 dBm) to better adhere to the ETSI speciﬁcations. Note however that

-15 dBm is not suitable for use on the HP/Agilent 8922E or G. For more

details, see page 94 and page 152.

Dual-Band

testing

For Dual-Band testing, you need an HP/Agilent 8922 Multi-Band Test

System. If you run the Dual-Band test procedure on a non multi-band

test system, unexpected errors will occur.

NOTE

When the Agilent 83212D software is run on an HP/Agilent 8922E, you

are unable to test the mobile station’s ability to tune its oscillator to a

source that has a frequency offset. This feature is called Tunable

Reference and is not available on the HP/Agilent 8922E.

NOTE

The Spectrum Analyzer is available as option 006 on the HP/Agilent

8922E, F and H and comes as standard on the HP/Agilent 8922G. If the

Spectrum Analyzer Option is not installed in your HP/Agilent 8922, the

following additional tests are unable to be performed:

• You are unable to measure the output RF spectrum with an HP/

Agilent 8922 without Option 006 (Spectrum Analyzer) due to

modulation or ramping.

• You are unable to measure the pulse on/off ratio without Option 006

(Spectrum Analyzer) (-70 dBc point of the power/time template).
