Creating A Test Plan - HP 8591C User Manual

Creating a Test Plan

A test plan consists of the channels that you want to measure and the tests
you want to make on those channels. This section contains the procedure
used to create a test plan. The procedure includes the following steps:
1. Select an individual channel.
2. Select a range of channels.
3. Save the current test plan in internal memory
4. Save the current test plan to a RAM card.
The Create Tstplan softkey is used to access the functions necessary to
create a test plan. CLEAR TST PLAN clears the currently loaded test plan.
If You Make a Mistake
If you make a mistake when entering a number with the data keys, you can use the back space key
to correct the mistake. The back space key ((BK?K?]l is on the lower right corner of the spectrum
analyzer's front panel, next to the @YEi?] key
It is very important to survey your system before creating a test plan. You
must be familiar with the location of quiet lines, test signals available on a
given channel, test signal location (line number), and appropriate field.
To facilitate this survey, use the chart provided in Chapter 9.
Use the channel measurements mode to survey each channel, then record the
information in the chart.
