Chapter 1 How to Begin
Power-Up and Health Check
Verify Communication
A convenient way to test the interface with the TIA is to check for an error
condition in the HP E1740A. This is a fairly comprehensive test as it
requires that the interface is configured correctly and that the hardware is
operational.
1
Select Setup>Instrument Setup... .
2
Beneath "Calibration & Errors:" (bottom, center of the HP E1740A Setup
window), click on the Service button.
3
Click on the Get Error button in the bottom right corner of the
"Calibration and Service" window.
4
If the interface is configured correctly, and there are no hardware error
conditions, a small dialog box will appear with the message:
System error code:
+0, "No error"
5
Click on the OK button to exit this window. Close the Calibration and
Service window, and Cancel the HP E1740A Setup window to return to
the application.
If you do not see the above error-free condition, check that the correct
interface has been configured in the HP E1740A Setup window and that
the HP E1740A has a unique address (ULA). For HP E1740A hardware
error conditions, refer to the HP E1740A User's Guide.
6
You can configure the HP E174XA to always use the interface you just
selected as follows:
Select File>Save Setup As... .
Select the file inisetup.stp in the c:\hpe174Xa directory. This is the
setup file the software uses as its configuration when loaded.
