Reference extensions A and B are
used to phase balance a sweeper to
make an uncalibrated measurement.
At the port use 08512-20019 short.
With a cable(s) use 08514-20013 long.
If in doubt, always use the short links.
83621A & 51A or others need
16 Aug 91 or later to work with
performance verification or else
unable to match frequency
points messages.
Firmware Rev. March 8, 1991
for complete compatibility
(If not, you may lose quick step)
8516A is compatible with 8510B
Rev. 4.0 or higher and with
8340/41/A/B with Rev. May 11, 88
or later. If not use Upgrage Kit 11875A
for 8340/41/A/B with serial numbers
2513 and above.
Use Upgrade Kit 08340-60334 for
serial numbers 2504A and below.
8517B Opt. 007 will display spikes if
the amplifiers are overdriven from the
RF Source. Reduce RF power to
0 dBm to increase dynamic range,
You may need to raise the power
> than 0 dBm. The factory preset
puts it at +10 dBm.
NOTE:
-20 dBm will cause "NO IF FOUND".

Note:
Some 83592A's do not have
DC block cap so will not work
with 8510=no phase lock.
To upgrade the 8350A to work with the 8510, order upgrade kit
Part No. 08350-60100
4. An 8340 or 8360 requires a source interconnect cable
(Part No. 08510-60009) connection when the test set is
used as an 8516. 8350 cannot be used with 8516 above 20 GHz.
5. Instrument power-on sequence: Source, Test Set, 85102, 85101.
Check power line modules for local line voltage. Check GPIB
addresses of all instruments. For 8360, set language switch to 001.
For 8340/41 set FREQUENCY STANDARD switch to INTERNAL.
