LOADING
THE SOFTWARE
To load the test software:
1.
Load HP
Basic and the binary
extensions
listed
in
OPERATING SYSTEM,
in
section 2,
in
your
computer.
2.
Insert an
initialized disc
in
the drive you have designated as the
data storage device
(using
unmodified software and an HP 9133H or 9153A
this
is
drive 1,":,700,1").
After running
a
test, the
software
automatically accesses the data disc and stores the measure¬
ment data.
You can use one data disc for multiple instruments. Because the software keys
on
the last four
digits of the serial number
when
it
stores data, and does not distinguish between the
different
instrument models,
if
you decide
to
use
one data disc for
multiple
instruments, maintain
a
sepa¬
rate data disc for
HP 8340As, 8340Bs, 8341As,
and 8341Bs.
The
reason for this
is
that
if
you
have
two different models with the same ending four digits, the software may write over
a
data
file
you
wish to keep.
3.
Connect your
DUT
(device under test) to the test system's HP-IB.
4.
If
you
are running the software using floppy
discs, insert
disc
1 in
the drive
designated
for
mass
storage (for unmodified software,
this
is
disc drive
0,
":,700,0"). Type LOAD
"FS_MANAGER",
press [ENTER] and
then
[RUN].
5.
If
the
Series 200 or 300 computer was
disconnected from ac power, the program asks you
to
enter the date and the time
in
the format shown
on
the screen.
The
date and time are printed on
each test data output. Skip
this
step
if
the computer does not ask for the date and
time.
6.
You have arrived
at the
8340 FAMILY TEST SYSTEM menu. The choices
offered are testing an
HP
8340A, 8341A, 8340A
Option H02,
8340B,
8341
B,
or running the cal (calibration) utility (see
section
4
to determine
if
you must
run
the cal utility
first).
After you select
a
test path, refer
to either section 6,
RUNNING THE CAL UTILITY,
or section
7,
TESTING
AN HP
8340A/B
or
8341A/B.
