The HP 8510 Network Analyzer

The HP 8360 series synthesizer is compatible with any HP 8510 network analyzer with firmware revision 4.0 or higher. To upgrade firmware for an existing HP 8510, an HP 11575C Revision 4.0 Upgrade Kit or an HP 11575D Revision 5.0 Upgrade Kit is required.

HP 8510 revisions prior to 6.0 (not inclusive) require that you use the following connections:

nSWEEP OUTPUT

nSTOP SWEEP IN/OUT

nHP-IB INTERFACE

nAUXILIARY INTERFACE

HP 8510 revisions 6.0 and greater use the connections as designated on the rear panel of the synthesizer. They are:

nTRIGGER OUTPUT

nSTOP SWEEP IN/OUT

nHP-IB INTERFACE

nAUXILIARY INTERFACE

The dedicated HP 8510 versions of the HP 8360 (HP 83621A, 83631A) may be configured to power-up to one of two possible system languages, network analyzer language, or SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). This configuration is controlled via a switch located on the rear panel of the instrument. The factory default setting for this switch is network analyzer language at an HP-IB address of 19. To interface with a network analyzer the language selected must be Analyzer language. Refer to earlier paragraphs in this chapter for the rear panel switch settings.

Note	Models other than the dedicated HP 8510 versions are set at the
	factory for SCPI. To interface with a network analyzer the language
	selected must be Analyzer language.
