Using a Keyboard
You can use an IBM PC-AT compatible keyboard with your analyzer. A
keyboard is useful when entering and editing names for files and
directories. It is also useful for creating and editing IBASIC programs.
All of the analyzer front panel hardkey and softkey functions can be
activated from a keyboard also. See
To Connect the Keyboard
To connect a keyboard, first turn off the analyzer. Then connect a PC-AT
compatible keyboard with a mini-DIN connector to the rear panel DIN
KEYBOARD connector. See
the keyboard connector. Turn the analyzer back on after the keyboard
connector is fully inserted into the connector.
NOTE
If your keyboard has a standard (large 5-pin) DIN connector, you will
need to use a DIN to mini-DIN (small 6-pin) adapter to connect the
keyboard to the analyzer. These adapters are available as
HP part no. 1252-4141. Contact the nearest HP sales or service office for
more information.
To Use the Keyboard to Edit
Using a keyboard makes editing of file and directory names, or program
lines quick and easy. You can also edit these items from the front panel of
the instrument using the front panel knob and the softkeys. However,
this process is very tedious.
Following is an example procedure to use a keyboard and the Re-Save
State function to save an instrument state that you want to call "mixer".
1. Set up the instrument with the measurement parameters that you
want to save. See
“Saving and Recalling Measurement Results” on
