External Keyboard

The HP C1405A Keyboard is an IBM AT compatible keyboard that can be connected to the external keyboard connector on the rear panel of the cable TV analyzer. The external keyboard allows a convenient way to enter screen titles and remote programming commands directly into the cable TV analyzer or to access the softkey functions. Detailed information on using the external keyboard can be found in the HP 8590 E-Series and L-Series Spectrum

Analyzers and HP 8591 C Cable TV Analyzer Programmer’s Guide.

The remote interface provides the capability to control your cable TV analyzer from a computer that uses an RS-232 or HP-IB (Option 021) interface bus.

The function keys of the external keyboard control the cable TV analyzer as follows:
