Set Serial Number, Adjustment #100

his procedure shows you how to store the analyzer's serial number in the CPU bootROM.
While this is not normally required, you may have to perform this procedure under certain
circumstances when you replace the CPU board.
You can only perform this procedure over HP-IB, so an HP BASIC controller (either external or
IBASIC) is required. he performance test software can also be used to store the analyzer's
serial number.
Note
Where XXXXXXXXXX appears throughout this procedure, replace those
characters with the serial number of your analyzer but maintain the leading
and following apostrophes (both are ASCII character 39). For example, if the
serial number of your analyzer is US34405555, the HP BASIC line of code
would be:
IMPOR AN : Make sure there is a space between SNUM and the rst
apostrophe.
equired Equipment
A computer with HP-IB capabilities is required. If IBASIC (Option 1C2) is installed, an
IBM PC-A style keyboard is the only requirement.
stimated Adjustment Time
his adjustment takes approximately two minutes to perform.

Procedure

1. Write down the 10-character serial number, exactly as shown on the analyzer rear-panel
label.
2. Use one of the following BASIC commands to set the serial number: (Replace the
XXXXXXXXXX in the command with your analyzer's serial number.)
a. If you are using HP BASIC from an external controller, enter:
OUTPUT 716;"DIAG: NUM 'XXXXXXXXXX'"
then press
ENTER
On the analyzer, press
his assumes that the analyzer is at address 16 and the HP-IB is at 7. If not, either use
the analyzer's actual address, or change the analyzer's address to 16.
b. If you are using IBASIC:
With an external keyboard connected, press
hen type the following:
OUTPUT 800;"DIAG: NUM 'XXXXXXXXXX'"
