Installing the Agilent 8702D
Step 14. Copy the EEPROM Disk
Step 14. Copy the EEPROM Disk
The Agilent8702D is shipped from the factory with an EEPROM backup disk
which is unique to each instrument. The backup disk contains a copy of cor-
rection constants which were stored in the instrument’s internal memory at
the factory. If your Agilent8702D should ever be damaged, these correction
constants may need to be reinstalled from the disk. Use the following proce-
dure to create a backup copy of the disk.
1Insert a 3.5-inch disk into the Agilent8702D’s disk drive.
2Press PRESET so that the preset state is stored.
3If the disk is not formatted, press SAVE/RECALL, FILE UTILITIES, FORMAT DISK.
•To format a LIF disk, select FORMAT:LIF (The supplied EEPROM backup disk
is LIF. The Agilent 8702D does not support LIF-HFS format.)
•To format a DOS disk, select FORMAT:DOS.
Press FORMAT INT DISK, and answer YES at the query.
4Press SYSTEM, SERVICE MENU, SERVICE MODES, MORE, STORE EEPR ON, SAVE/RECALL,
SAVE RCL MENU, SELECT DISK, INTERNAL DISK, RETURN, SAVE STATE to store the
correction-constants data onto floppy disk.
A default file “FILE0” is created. The file name appears in the upper left-hand
corner of the display. The file type “ISTATE(E)” describes the file as an instru-
ment-state with EEPROM backup.
5Press FILE UTILITIES, RENAME FILE, ERASE TITLE. Use the RPG and the SELECT LETTER
softkey to rename the file “FILE0” to “N12345” where 12345 represent s the last
5 digits of the instrument’s serial number. (The first character in the file name
must be a letter.) When finished, press DONE.
6Label the disk with the serial number of the instrument and the words
“EEPROM Backup Disk”.
Whenever the Agilent 8702D is returned to Agilent Technologies for ser vicing
and/or calibration, the EEPROM backup disk sho uld be returned with the
Agilent8702D. This will significantly reduce the instrument repair time. The
EEPROM backup disk procedure is now complete.
