Adjustment/Diagnostic Software
Getting Started
Getting Started
First, make sure you have a compatible controller (computer) and the
proper test equipment. The following paragraphs describe
requirements for controllers and test equipment. Once the proper
equipment is identified, proceed to
”Equipment Connections”
Spectrum Analyzers
The 8564E/8565E Adjustment/Diagnostic Software can be used to
adjust or troubleshoot ONLY an 8564EC or an 8565EC.
Errors will occur if this software is used to test spectrum analyzers
other than the 8564EC or 8565EC.
Controller (Computer)
The 8564E/8565E Adjustment/Diagnostic Software requires using one
of the following HP controllers and the HP BASIC operating system:
NOTE
When using an HP 9000 model 236 (HP 9836) controller, the graphics in
the IF diagnostics program will be very distorted and difficult to read.
The tabular data printed at the end of the IF diagnostics program
(which contains the same text information as the graphics) is clearly
readable.
Other HP 9000 Series 300 controllers are compatible with the
adjustment/diagnostic software; however, the graph printouts might
not be full width. This is especially true with medium- and
high-resolution displays.
The 8564E/8565E Adjustment/Diagnostic Software requires at least
4 Megabytes of free memory.
