Preparation for Use
This chapter describes how to operate the 58542 VXIbus Universal Power Meter. The first part of the
chapter explains how to set up and install the unit. This is followed by operating procedures using the
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) command reference, with the Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments (SCPI) command language.
The following topics are presented in this chapter:
•
Installation (Section 2.2)
•
Initial Setup (Section 2.3)
•
Sensor Precautions (Section 2.4)
•
Operation (Section 2.5; Error Messages, Section 2.5.34)
2.2
Installation
Before installing the power meter, ensure that the logical address and data transfer bus arbitration have
been set according to the procedures in Section 2.3.
The power meter installs into any slot of a VXI mainframe except slot 0 (zero). When inserting the
instrument into the mainframe, rock it gently back and forth to fully seat the connectors into the
backplane receptacles. The ejectors will be at right angles to the front panel when the instrument is
properly seated. The two captive screws above and below the ejectors secure the instrument into the
chassis.
The power meter contains three printed circuit assemblies: (1) The Analog board, (2) VXI Processor
board and (3) Digital board.
The Analog board contains the front panel connectors, the Power Sweep Calibrator (beneath the top
metal cover) and the dual measurement channels (beneath the lower metal cover). The memory backup
battery is attached to this lower metal cover.
The VXI Processor board contains the 68000 processor, connection to the VXIbus backplane and two
EEPROMS containing communications software. The operational software must be compatible with
the EEPROMs on the Digital board. The EEPROMs will be replaced whenever operational software
upgrades are performed.
The Digital board connects to the VXI backplane for access to TTL triggering and the main operational
software.
