3-1. Introduction
This chapter describes how the 8062A works. An overview of the operation
is provided first, followed by description of the two major components and
the measurement functions. A detailed schematic of the instrument appears in
Chapter 7.
3-2. Functional
Description
The major circuits and components of the 8062A are arranged in a block
diagram in Figure 3-1. Two major components make up the measurement
system: a four-bit CMOS microcomputer, and CMOS integrated circuit
known as the Measurement Acquisition Chip (MAC). The microcomputer
selects the appropriate measurement function in the MAC according to the
switches or buttons pushed by the operator. The microcomputer also controls
the measurement cycles, performs calculations on measured data, and drives
the display. The MAC measures the conditioned input signals with the a/d
converter or the frequency counter. The MAC also controls the power supply
and the continuity tone generator. The microcomputer and the MAC
communicate through a four-bit bidirectional bus and four control lines. Both
components are described in more detail later in this chapter.
As shown in Figure 3-1, the input signals are routed by the range and
function switches through the appropriate signal conditioners for input
filtering and scale changes. Input signals for all measurement functions
except frequency are converted to a proportional dc analog voltage that is
applied to the a/d converter. The dual-slope a/d converter converts the dc
analog voltage to a digital number that is sent to the microcomputer. Each of
the major measurement functions are described later in this chapter.
3-3. Microcomputer
The four-bit CMOS microcomputer senses switch positions by reading status
registers in the MAC, and senses button pushes through input lines connected
directly to the microcomputer. The microcomputer processes the information
and then selects the appropriate digital and analog configuration in the MAC
by writing to an array of MAC control registers.
