Section III.
Operation
INTRODUCTION
This section completely describes all front- and rear-panel keys, connectors, switches, and displays
of the HP 8340B/41B Synthesized Sweeper, and explains all code mnemonics and the procedures
used for HP-IB programming. Also described are enhancement procedures for the power control and
modulation functions.
The descriptive material in the local operation subsection is organized according to the physical
layout of the HP 8340B/41B. To find specific information, use as an index either Table 3-1, or Figures
3-1 and 3-2:
Table 3-1 lists the operation modes and functions of the HP 8340B/41B, shows the keystrokes
that initiate those functions, and lists the reference figures that explain the procedures.
Figure 3-1 is a front panel drawing of the HP 8340B, with callouts indicating the reference figures
that explain each key connector, switch, and display.
Figure 3-2 is a rear panel drawing of the HP 8340B, with callouts that indicate the appropriate
reference figures.
The nucleus for the HP-IB programming material is Table 3-2. Table 3-2 lists all code mnemonics and
provides cross referencing to equivalent front panel keys. The codes that do not have an equivalent
front panel key, along with the HP-IB programming procedures, are explained following Table 3-2.
The power control and modulation functions have several enhancement provisions. These provisions
are mentioned in the relevant parts of the local operation and HP-IB programming subsections, but a
collective, detailed explanation is made at the end of this Operation section.
Hewlett-Packard periodically updates the operating information for the HP 8340B/41B, in the form of a
Manual Changes Supplement, and publishes a series of Operating Guides and Programming Notes.
Contact the nearest HP Sales and Service office (listed inside of the back cover of Volume 3) to obtain
this supplemental information as it becomes available.
