Agilent Technologies 856290216 Setting HP-IB Addresses, Storing and Loading the Conditions File

To select a particular sensor of a certain model number, move the pointer to the desired model number and press Change Entry. Enter the last five digits of the power sensor serial number (that is, the serial number suffix). The program checks to see that a data file containing the cal factor data for that particular sensor exists.

To create, edit, view, or purge power sensor cal factor data files, press Sensor Utils to bring up the Sensor Utilities Menu. Refer to “Sensor Utilities Menu” in this chapter for more information.

A WARNING message appears if the program does not find a data file for the sensor. If this occurs, check that the system mass storage file location specifies the disk where the power sensor data resides. If the system mass storage file location is correct, the cal factor data for that particular sensor has not been stored.

Note	Power sensor data files created using the VERIFY-6XEoperation verification
	software (for HP 8560E/6lE/62E/63E/64E/65E spectrum analyzers) are
	compatible with the frequency response adjustment software.

Refer to “Sensor Utilities Menu” in this chapter for additional information.

Setting HP-IB Addresses

The last seven lines of the Conditions Menu are for selecting the HP-IB addresses of test equipment used for the Operation Verification program. It is not necessary to use all the test equipment listed. Some model numbers listed are “alternates.” Table 3-l lists the test equipment required, and alternates.

Entering zero as the test equipment address results in that model number being unavailable in the program (NA is displayed in the address field). To minimize possible confusion later, enter a zero for the address of each piece of test equipment that is not available.

Enter the address for each piece of test equipment that is available, including the spectrum analyzer under test. Addresses must contain the select code of the bus to which the equipment is connected followed by the equipment address on that bus. For example, if the HP 8902A is at address 14 on a bus with a select code of 7, enter an address of 714. If the HP 8902A were on a bus with a select code of 12, you should enter an address of 1214.

A question mark (?) next to an HP-IB address indicates the address has not been checked to verify a response. An asterisk (*) next to an HP-IB address indicates the address was checked and that an instrument responds at that address. If there is neither an asterisk nor a question mark next to an address, the address has been checked and no response was detected.

Storing and Loading the Conditions File

The information in the Conditions Menu may be stored for future use by pressing

Store Conds . A file named CONDITIONS is created on the disk specified by the system mass storage file location.
