Installation
HP-IB Address Selection
~
The Signal Generator's address is set to 19 a
t
the factory both in RAM memory and an internal
switch located inside the instrument. The address stored in RAM remains valid through switch-
ing the power from standby to on and unplugging of the ac power cord (unless the internal bat-
tery power is lost which would cause RAM memory to be lost). If RAM memory is ever lost, the
address on the internal switch is read and becomes the address at turn on. Refer to page 3-8 for
procedures to set the Signal Generator's HP- IB address.
Interconnections
~
Interconnection da ta for the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus is provided in Figure 2 - 2, Hewlett-
Packard Interface Bus Connections.
Mating Connectors
Interface Connector. The HP-IB mating connector is shown in Figure 2-2. Note that the two
securing screws are metric.
Coaxial Connectors. Coaxial mating connectors used with the Signal Generator should be either
the 50-ohm BNC male connectors or 50-ohm Type-N male connectors that are compatible with
those specified in US MIL-C-39012.
Operating Environment
The operating environment should be within the following limitations:
O°C to +S5°C
5 to 95% (maximum wet bulb temperature
=
40°C)
<4570 meters (15 000 feet)
Temperature
Humidity
Altitude
Airflow 5.8 mm (0.23 in.) minimum clearance underneath the instrument and suffi-
cient clearance at the instrument's right side for air flow that is not
obstructed.
Rack Mounting
I
WARNINGI
The Signal Generator is heavy jar its size (32.7 kg, 71.5 Ib). Care must
be exercised when lifting to avoid personal injury.
When rack mounting, it is important that proper support rails are used to
support the Signal Generator. Additional support rail sets for HP cabi-
