Verification Setup
Prepare for performance verification by completing the following steps:
1. Measure the environment temperature and humidity. The temperature
must be between +20
cannot vary by more than 1
2. Perform a good installation "preflight" checkout on the 8510XF system.
3. Power on the system components in the following order:
a. Sources
b. Millimeter wave controller
c. 8510XF
d. Controller (PC or laptop)
4. Remember to allow at least one hour for warm up of the components.
In order to verify performance, you must first install BASIC for Windows
and the 8510C Specification and Performance Verification software on a PC
(or controller).
This manual documents the use of the verification software on a PC. Use of
the software on a controller is not documented.
The PC must have an INTEL 486 processor or higher, and must have at least
eight megabytes of memory available. The PC must also have an GPIB card
in order to communicate with the 8510XF.
1. Install BASIC for Windows (Revision 6.3 or later) on the PC following
the instructions on the first BASIC disk. The program will guide you
through the installation process. (For more detailed information, refer to
BASIC for Windows, Installing and Using Guide.) If you are installing
Revision 7.1 or later, install the Legacy Version.
2. Install the specification and performance verification software by
following the instructions on the disk label. The installation program
will lead you through the installation. In the process, a new program
group will be created, which includes the "Spec8510" icon.
