4.
Enter the DUT's option configuration (refer to
the
OUT
rear panel
serial tag).
a.
One
at
a
time,
enter the three
digit option numbers (many instruments
have
only
one option, or
none at
all).
b.
Once
all
options are entered, press [ENTER].
If
the instrument
is
a
standard (no
options), just
press [ENTER].
If
test data for this instrument exists
on
the current data disc (from previously
run
tests), the
computer does not
ask for option information.
5.
If
you
entered
option information
in
step
4,
the computer displays the options you entered (000
is
displayed
if
no
options were entered).
If
the
list is
correct, press
[Yes],
if
not,
press [No] and re-enter
the option
configuration when
prompted.
6.
The computer now
reads the rest of the instrument's calibration constants.
If
the computer offers
the
[Menu]
softkey, go directly to step
7.
Calibration Constant Discrepancies
If
there
is
a
Cal Constants data
file
for
this
instrument on
the data disc, and
the
file
does not match the
cal
constants
in
the instrument,
the
computer displays:
DUT
CAL #Cal Constant Name
=
### BUT FILE
=
###
[DUT OK]
[NEITHER]
[FILE OK]
The
most
common
reason for
this
screen to be displayed
is
that
someone
has
pressed
[SHIFT]
[PEAK] on the synthesizer.
This function causes the synthesizer to automatically optimize
its
RF
output power and
to update the
YTM GAIN, YTM OFFSET,
and the
YTM
BX GAIN cal constants.
If
the
cal
constant displayed
is
one
of
those
listed
above,
and the synthesizer
does not have
a
front panel
failure annunciator on, the cal constant
in
the
DUT
is
probably fine.
In
any case, you must determine
which
cal
constants are valid (one method
is
by examining the printed copy of the
cal
constants
located underneath the synthesizer's top cover), or assume that the data disk (file)
is
allright.
Select
the
appropriate softkey
in
response to the prompt.
If
you select
[NEITHER],
you must enter the
correct
cal
constant value. After
all
cal
constant discrepancies are taken care
of,
the program returns
to normal operation.
7.
The software
gives you
a
choice of the following:
[Menu]
lets you
access the
test
menu for the type of testing you selected (attenuator calibration or
operation verification).
[New Dut]
tells the
software
you
have connected
a
different
DUT
to the HP-IB. Note
that
if
the
model number of the new
DUT
is
not the
same
as the previous
one, the program automatically
returns you to the
8340 FAMILY TEST SYSTEM
menu.
8.
If
you select
[Menu],
the program checks to see
if
a
printer
is
connected to the
HP-IB.
If
the
program finds
a
printer,
it
gives you
a
selection of the HP
2225A
(ThinkJet
printer), the
HP 2673A,
or OTHER. Although other printers
can be used,
they may
not
be directly compatible with the
program's
alpha and graphics output.
