TIME THROUGHPUT
PURPOSE O F THIS CHAPTER
This chapter shows you the details of using the time throughput feature, The H P 3562A's
HP-IB system controller capability allows you to store input data directly to disc memory,
without using an external controller. Time throughput supports the Hewlett-Packard 9 1 4X and
91 XX series of disc drives, (Some other discs drives may be used, but their service diagnostics
are not supported by the 3562A) No HP-IB programming knowledge is required to use time
throughput For an introductory discussion of throughput, please refer to the User's Guide at
the beginning of this manual,
This chapter is divided into four parts:
1 , Creating throughput files on disc
-set file size
-name and create the file
2, Setting up the throughput session
--activate throughput
--select channel(s)
-set throughput length
,-view input signals
--set up the inputs
-identify active file
-start throughput
-view the throughput header
3, Measuring and analyzing throughput data
-identify active file
-view the active file
-set the measurement starting point
-set up and start the measurement
4, Using capture blocks as throughput files
To keep track of where you are while setting u p throughput sessions, fold out the throughput
setup checklist at the end of this chapter.
