The Instrument cannot emulate two emulation personalities simultaneously.
Therefore, in theory, it would not be possible to replace two legacy signal
generators within a Calibration System and hope to emulate them both.
However, Fluke has found that many Calibration Software and Procedures
do not address two instruments simultaneously. In these cases, it is possible
to switch 9640A emulation personality via the Keyboard Interface at the
procedure lead-change points.
Fluke has extensively tested the Instrument's GPIB command and its
functional emulation of legacy signal generators, and will support
Customers in resolving any unforeseen difficulty. However, Fluke does not
guarantee that complete and accurate emulation will be possible for all
Systems, Software, and Procedures that may be encountered.
Licensing a GPIB Emulation Personality
A license for the HP3335 Emulation Personality is included as standard on the
Instrument. Other GPIB personalities require a License Key, which may be purchased
with the instrument or as a later upgrade. A Temporary License is factory installed to
allow evaluation of the command emulation prior to its purchase. This Temporary
License allows a set number of hours of Remote operation. The clock starts when the
instrument is using the relevant emulation personality and then switched to remote
control by the GPIB. The clock stops when Local Operation is restored either by the
GPIB or by pressing the Go to Local soft key.
Use the following procedure to install a GPIB personality License Key:
1. From the Setup screen, press the GPIB Preferences soft key to display the GPIB
Personality screen. This action causes the display to show the available GPIB
personalities, their status (Active or Inactive), and their current GPIB address. Only
one personality can be Active.
2. Use the Spin Wheel or the keys to highlight a GPIB personality.
