Preparing the Analyzer for Use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To connect the analyzer to an GPIB device

 

 

 

The analyzer is compatible with the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).

 

 

 

Total allowable transmission path length is 2 meters times the number of

 

 

 

devices or 20 meters, whichever is less. Operating distances can be extended

 

 

 

using an GPIB Extender.

 

 

 

Analyzers with option UFG, 4 megabytes extended RAM and additional I/O, have

 

 

 

an additional GPIB connector. The additional GPIB connector, SYSTEM

 

 

 

INTERCONNECT, is only for connection to the spectrum analyzer used with the

 

lAgilent 89411A 21.4 MHz Down Converter.

 

 

Connect the analyzer’s rear panel GPIB connector to an GPIB device using an

 

 

GPIB interface cable.

 

 

The analyzer contains metric threaded GPIB cable mounting studs as opposed

to English threads. Use only metric threaded GPIB cable lockscrews to secure

 

 

the cable to the analyzer. Metric threaded fasteners are black, while English

 

 

threaded fasteners are silver.

To connect the analyzer to an external monitor

The External Monitor connector is a 15-pin connector with standard VGA pinout. The External Monitor connector can interface with an external, multi-scanning monitor. The monitor must have a 25.5 kHz horizontal scan rate,

la 60 Hz vertical refresh rate, and must conform to EIA-343-A standards.

Connect the analyzer’s rear panel EXTERNAL MONITOR connector to an external monitor using an appropriate cable.

For additional information, see ‘’EXTERNAL MONITOR connector’’ in the analyzer’s online help.
