Bench Operation

To ensure that the HP 8568B meets the specifications listed in Chapter
3, the operation verification listed in Chapter 5 should be performed
every 6 months.
The instrument is shipped with the HP-IB address preset to 18 (ASCII
2R). The instrument stores this address in internal RAM memory
which is maintained by a lithium battery in STANDBY and when line
power is removed. This stored address can be changed from the
front panel or on switches located on the RF section's Al5 controller
assembly. Refer to Chapter 2, "Installation."
The instrument has plastic feet and foldaway tilt stands for
convenience in bench operation. The plastic feet are shaped to make
full-width modular instruments self-aligning when stacked. The
instrument is shipped with front handles attached for ease of moving.
