Anomaly Reporting; Software Support Information - HP 8340B Manual

Make
a
Copy Before Use
Before running
the test software or making
any changes to the software's configuration,
you
should make
a
copy of the master disc supplied with this
documentation The master
should
then be stored in
a
safe place
and the copy used for daily testing,
In
order
to make
a
copy of the master
disc, you
will
need either two double sided 3-5"
microfloppy disc drives or one fixed disc drive and one double sided 3.5" microfloppy disc
drive-
Two
disc drives which
may
be used are the
HP 91331-1 or the HP 9122D.
In addition, the
media
on which the copy is made
must be capable of storing the entire
software (Ie., either
another double sided
3.5
inch floppy or
a
fixed disc). The storage
space requirements
for
this
revision of software
is
approximately
650
kbytes,
When copying
the software onto another 3.5 inch, double sided microfloppy, you must
first
Initialize
your
blank floppy.
When initializing your floppy, you must
specify the interleave factor
and also the format
to be
used during initialization.
The required interleave factor
is 2 and the
required format
Is 3 (1024 bytes/sector) The
initialize command you would execute from your
computer's keyboard is
as follows:
INITIALIZE "Address of the disc drive containing your blank floppy",2,3
An example would
be:
INITIALIZE
":,700,1",2,3.
This would
Initialize
a
disc at HP-IB address
700, drive
1 and would set the disc's Interleave factor to
2 and format to 1024 bytes/sector. If
you do not Initialize your blank 3.5
inch,
double sided microfloppy
in
this
manner, you
will
not
have
sufficient space on the disc to
copy
the
software!
For your
convenience, a
copy program has been included on the master disc supplied
with
this document
This
program allows you to
copy the files
on
the master disc to either
an
Initialized fixed disc or another
35"
double sided
floppy
When copying the master to
another
3.5" floppy, insert the
master disc
Into drive
0
of your double sided
3 5"
disc drive and insert
an Initialized
35"
floppy into drive
1 The name of the copy program
is
"Copy" After your
floppy has been initialized,
load the copy program
"Copy"
from the master disc and
respond
to the prompts provided To ensure that you do not erase the programs on the
master
disc,
you should Write Protect the master.
