Manual Operation

Compatibility

The HP 8360 series synthesized sweepers are designed to be, in all but very few cases, a complete feature superset of the HP 8340/8341 synthesized sweepers. The most notable omissions are that the

HP 8360 series does not accept:

nline triggers (ie 50 or 60 Hz line frequency)

nan external leveling input from positive diode detectors

Front Panel Operation

The HP 8360 series uses a softkey menu driven approach toward accessing instrument functions versus a front panel key or shift key sequence as with the HP 8340/8341.

Instrument Preset Conditions. The factory defined preset conditions for the HP 8360 series are identical to those for the HP 8340/8341. The HP 8360 series also allows you to define a different set of preset conditions. Refer to “Changing the Preset Parameters,” in Chapter 1 for examples and more information. Table 3-6 illustrates the factory instrument preset conditions for the HP 8360 series and the HP 8340/8341. An instrument preset turns off all the functions and then sets the following:
