Model 9500B Associated Products And Options - Fluke 9500B User Handbook Manual

1.2.2.5 Test Mode
Three main variants of self test are available for user initiation:
• 'Base' Test: Tests the base unit only. No head data is tested.
• 'Heads' Test: Tests the fitted Active Heads only, assuming that
base tests have been passed.
• 'All' Test: Tests both the base unit and active heads fitted.
Note: In the above three tests, the 9500B will keep a list of all test
failures, including the number of the test and its result. Any
failures can then be recalled using screen keys.
• 'Fast' Test: This is the same as the confidence test carried out
at power-on, checking power supplies, basic
operation, etc.
• 'Interface' Test: This can be used to check the operation of the
display and its memory, the keyboard and/or printer
connected to the instrument. A blank memory card
inserted in either slot on the front panel can also be
tested (WARNING!: the stored contents of any
memory card subjected to this test will be over-
written!).
It is possible to print out a set of results of selftests. A printer can be
connected directly to the 25-way Centronics™ printer port on the rear
panel. The printer can be enabled from within Configuration mode.
Test procedures and error-code descriptions are given in Section 8. In
the case of a reported or suspected failure, consult your Fluke Service
Center.
1.2.3 System Operation
1.2.3.1 Remote Interface
The instrument can form part of an automated system by means of the
IEEE-488 standard digital interface. The interface has been included
both for automatic calibration of UUT oscilloscopes, and for automatic
calibration of the 9500B itself. The method of connecting to the system
controller and the IEEE-488.2 SCPI command codes are described in
Section 6.
Emulation of the SG5030 and CG5010/5011 is available only via the
remote IEEE-488 interface, as detailed in Section 6, Appendix F.
1.2.4.2 Met/Cal II
The 9500B is included in the number of calibrators accessible through
Met/Cal II which can be used to calibrate UUT oscilloscopes remotely.

1.3 Model 9500B Associated Products
and Options
1. Active Head™
At least one unit of the following products is necessary to complete the
output connection from the 9500B output channel to one channel of the
UUT oscilloscope.
Model 9510 1.1GHz Output Module (Active Head™) with 500ps
pulse edge capability.
Model 9530 3.2GHz Output Module (Active Head™) with 150ps
and 500ps pulse edge capabilities.
Model 9550 25ps Fast Edge Output Module (Active Head
25ps pulse edge capability only.
Model 9560 6.4GHz Output Module (Active Head
pulse edge capability. Requires 9500-3200 or 9500B-
3200 base with issue 3.0 firmware or greater.
Check the last section of this manual for an Addendum that describes
any additional Active Head models.
Any one of the fitted heads can be used to provide triggers for the UUT
oscilloscope instead of signals. However, a Trigger Cable (SMC-to-
BNC) is shipped with the 9500B to provide triggers to a separate trigger
input on the UUT oscilloscope, with a mix of up to four active heads.
2. The following accessories are shipped with the instrument:
Pt. No. Description
401297 Current Loop Assembly for use in Current Function.
630477 Trigger Cable for trigger purposes only, in place of an
Active Head™.
3. The available options for the 9500B are as follows:
Option 60 Carry Case.
Option 90 Rack Mounting Kit.
Line Voltage: The 9500B is configured for use at the correct voltage
at the shipment point. The 9500B can be reconfigured
for a different line voltage, requiring a different power
fuse (Refer to Section 2, paras 2.7.4 and 2.7.5).
