HP 16501A Expansion Frame Interface
The interface port for the HP 16501A Expansion Frame permits you to
quickly and easily connect an expansion frame to the HP 16500B mainframe.
With an expansion frame connected to the mainframe, a total of ten
16500-series measurement modules can be configured and utilized. Detailed
service information for the HP 16500B mainframe and 16501A Expansion
frame is covered in the HP 16500B/16501A Service Manual.
The expansion frame is recognized by the mainframe if the "Master Frame"
text on the left side of the mainframe power-up screen appears as a blue
user-select field. If the text does not appear as a blue field, the most likely
cause is a defective interface module.
