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:
line triggers (ie 50 or 60 Hz line frequency)
n
an external leveling input from positive diode detectors
n
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
sets the following:
