Agilent Technologies 856290216 HP-IB addresses, Data files and system mass storage files

nUse the MS1 (Mass Storage Is) command to make the flexible disk drive the mass storage device. For example, you would type MS1 I’ : ,7OO,l” if the flexible disk was located at 700,l.

wType LOAD "TAMJFSW", 1 and press [ml or (m). The program will run immediately after it is loaded.

HP-IB addresses

The program queries the spectrum analyzer for its ID string and serial number. The program assumes the spectrum analyzer HP-IB address is 718. If it is something other than 718, use the up/down arrow keys on the computer to place the pointer next to Spectrum Analyzer polling address and press CNANGE ENTRY . When entering an HP-IB address, also include the select code. For example, if the analyzer were at address 23 on an HP-IB interface at select code 14, you would enter 1423 as the polling address.

Data files and system mass storage files

The TAM I/F SW program creates a data file for each HP 85623 it is used with. This data file contains the original ID string and serial number of the spectrum analyzer. The filename is in the form: “HP62Exxxxx”, where xxxxx is the last five digits of the spectrum analyzer serial number. These data files are stored in the location listed as the system mass storage file location. The default location is the location from where the program was loaded.

If the system mass storage file location is more than 37 characters, the first 17 characters will be displayed, followed by three periods ( . . . ), and then followed by the last 17 characters.

nIf you wish to change the system mass storage file location, use the up/down arrow keys to point to “System mass storage file location” and press CHANGE ENTRY. You will then be prompted to enter a new mass storage file location.

nIf the polling address or the mass storage file location were changed, press I)UNNY NUT .

Executing a test

nTo execute a particular test, adjustment, or diagnostic function, press the appropriate menu softkey; for example, press TEST MENU to access a TAM test function.

The Test Menu, Adjustments Menu, and Diagnostics Menu all function similarly. A listing of all available TAM functions are given, followed by the model number to which the ID string will be changed to execute that function, and any limitations which apply to using that function. For example, selection 3 in the Diagnostics Menu reads:

3) RF PathFault Isolation HP856lE Checks up to 5 GHz

If RF Path Fault Isolation is selected, the ID string will be changed to HP8561E. When the diagnostic is run, it will only check the RF path up to 5 GHz (a frequency approximately in the middle of the highest band of the HP 85613).

nMove the pointer to the desired function and press SELECT. The display will indicate the spectrum analyzer serial number, the function selected, and the new ID string to be sent to the analyzer.

nPress WRITE NEW 3D$ to change the analyzer ID string. When prompted, cycle the spectrum analyzer power; the new ID string is only read from EEROM at power-up.
