1.8 HOW TO USE ALL OF THE MANUALS
The number and type of manuals supplied with your system is dependent upon the specific
system. Figure 7-2 is a family tree of the manuals supplied with each type of Laser Trans-
ducer System. To use this documentation effectively you must familiarize yourself with the
contents of the individual manuals.
Every Laser Transducer System is supplied with this system level manual, a 5501A Laser
Transducer Head unit manual, and a 10780A Receiver unit manual. As the family tree indi-
cates, the 10700 series optics are covered in this manual. The remaining documentation is
split into the following groups:
1 . HP-IB lnterface System manuals.
2. Computer lnterface System manuals.
3.
English/Metric Pulse Output System manuals.
4.
10781A Pulse Converter S y s t e ~ manuals.
The important point to note about this division is that the information contained in these
manuals provides both prerequisite, concurrent, and back-up information to the system
manual. Unless all of the manuals are used effectively, you may encounter difficulty in instal-
ling, operating, and maintaining your system properly.
As an example, examine the additional manuals supplied with the HP-IB lnterface System. First,
you will receive all of the 9825A Calculator and Hewlett-Packard lnterface Bus (HP-IB) manuals.
Since the calculator and HP-IB control the system, the information contained in these manuals
is a prerequisite to learning how to program your system correctly.
In this manual, Section IV, PROGRAMMING, provides the additional information necessary
to program the Laser Transducer System. However, the programming information in this
manual presupposes that you are familiar with the programming information contained in
the calculator and HP-IB manuals. The same information is required for any other unit that
acts a s a system controller (e.g., an HP computer, some other computer, or a dedicated con-
troller)
.
Next, you will receive all of the individual unit manuals for the equipment that make up your
\
system. The information contained in these manuals provides the back-up information you
will need if you desire to change your system configuration, increase your knowledge of the
individual units, or troubleshoot these units beyond the level covered in this system manual.
During initial installation there are references to the unit manuals for addressing individual
boards and installing them in the coupler. During operation, reference to the compensator
manuals (either manual or automatic) is necessary to insure that you are properly compen-
sating the system for atmospheric conditions.
In
summary
then,
it
is
very
important
that
you
know
where
to
find
the
specific
information
you
need
to
efficiently
use
the Laser
Transducer
System.
The
only
way
to
accomplish
this
objective
is
to
understand
the
relationship
between
all
of
the
manuals
that
are
supplied
with
your
system.
