Setting Up Ports and Channels
After one or several terminals have been connected to the HP 81200
system, you can set up port and channel properties, such as delay, signal
format, voltages, impedances, and so on.
Setting port parameters is an easy way to use the same setting for all
connected terminals of that port. Before setting port parameters, all the
terminals of that port should be connected with the instrument.
Then, individual parameters may be set for individual channels.
N O T E
Individual channel parameters override port parameters.
Port and channel parameters can be set and changed with the Parameter
Editor.
In addition to setting parameters, there is another function that determines
channel properties: Two or four data generator channels can be added to
produce a combined signal. This is done with the Channel Configuration
Editor which can be invoked from the Configuration Editor.
This chapter provides instructions on how to set up ports and channels:
