the instrument from all voltage sources while it is

is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live

for ve seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.

This is a Safety Class 1 Product (provided with a protective earthing

ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be

inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the

instrument is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional

interruption is prohibited.

For continued protection against re hazard, replace fuse only with

same type and ratings, (type nA/nV). The use of other fuses or materials

is prohibited.

W

ARNING

Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly

grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a

socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside

or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth

terminal can result in personal injury.

Before this instrument is switched on, make sure its primary power

circuitry has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source.

Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause

damage to the instrument when the ac power cable is plugged in.

Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause one of two things to

happen when power is applied:

If the switch is set to 115 V and the instrument is connected to 230 V, the fuse will blow.

If the switch is set to 230 V and the instrument is connected to 115 V, the instrument will

Before turning this instrument on, make sure the line-voltage selector is set to the

Also make sure that it is grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to

a socket outlet provided with protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective

This section contains information to help identify and resolve some common problems that may

occur with your color display before the need for extensive servicing.

Symptoms of various problems are listed at the top of each page. Most symptoms have a brief

description or explanation to help provide more insight into their cause. A possible cause for

the symptom and a checklist of possible solutions are then presented. Use this checklist as an

If you have an MSIB fault indicator on

The HP 70004A color display has an MSIB system fault indicator in the upper-left corner of

the front panel. This indicator applies to the I/O backplane and all modules in the system,

not just the display system; the MSIB indicator should be OFF indicating normal operation.

This circuitry senses the readiness of the external MSIB. If the MSIB indicator light is on,

MSIB communications are inhibited and the condition must be cleared before the display will

operate.

The

MSIB indicator light will be on if one of the following conditions is true:

The external MSIB loop is not complete.

Check that both ends of all MSIB cables are securely connected.

If more than one mainframe is used, or if other elements are connected to the MSIB, all

cables must be connected; otherwise, the MSIB will not operate. If a single mainframe with

no external elements is used, there should be no MSIB cables connected to the external MSIB

connectors of that mainframe, although a single cable looped from the input connector to the

output connector will allow the mainframe to operate.

The problem is either with the cables or an element that was connected to the display

Loop each cable (one at a time) from

the display MSIB IN to OUT connectors. If the

MSIB indicator comes on, that cable has probably failed. If the light does not come on

is still within its warranty period.

Determining Your Color Display's Serial Number

When a module is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard, it is given a unique serial number. This

serial number is attached to a label on the front frame or front panel of the module. A serial

number label is in two parts. (Refer to Figure 2-8.)

The rst part makes up the serial number prex and consists of four digits and a letter. The

second part makes up the serial number sux and consists of the last ve digits on the serial

number label. The serial number prex is the same for all identical modules; it only changes

when a change in the electrical or physical functionality is made. The serial number sux,

however, changes sequentially and is dierent for each module.

Rack and Stack The display may be stacked or racked with the HP 70001A mainframe or

.For more information on obtaining this document, contact your

nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Oce. (Refer to Table 2-2.)

MSIB The Hewlett-Packard Modular System Interface Bus (MSIB) supports high-speed

digital communication among instrument modules within the display and

among instruments connected to the external MSIB loop.

HP-IB Every module that supports HP-IB has access to the standard Hewlett-Packard

Interface Bus (HP-IB). This bus provides a path of communication among

controllers, other HP-IB instruments, and individual modules.

Power Supplies The HP 70004A color display's power supply processes the ac line power to

produce regulated 40 kHz ac power for the modules, 5 Vdc for the MSIB,

dc power for the cooling fan, and a TTL-compatible line synchronization signal.

The primary power output, 24.3 Vac (average voltage, not rms) at 40 kHz,

provides up to 100 Watts of power (25 Watts per 1/8 slot).

Cooling A fan provides cooling for both the display and up to four 1/8-width modules.

Remote Pro-

grammability

The HP 70004A color display is programmed by modules in a low-level

language resembling Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HP-GL). It also can

be programmed directly through the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB)

in this same language. Information on the display's programming language

Use the hard-labeled keys (permanently xed keys) above and below the display screen

to perform such functions as: presetting the instrument, moving the keyboard between

instruments in the system, changing parameters with step keys, and printing, as well as many

other functions.

The following section lists each available hard-labeled key and describes how each key is used:

prepares

you for your rst steps in using the HP 70004A color display in a system.

You will learn how to build or stack windows on your display and assign the keyboard or

display or both to an instrument by using various softkey menus. Then, you will learn how to

change display colors and set the system clock. Finally, you'll learn how to produce outputs

on a printer or plotter, and how to save and retrieve information using external mass storage

devices such as HP-IB disk drives and RAM cards.

When trying to print to an HP-IB printer, the system controller can not have control of the

HP-IB; you must either physically remove the system controller from the HP-IB, or you can

leave it connected and enter a command from the system controller's keyboard that will

release it from the HP-IB.

For example, if you are programming in Rocky Mountain Basic (RMB), the system

controller can be released from the HP-IB by typing the following at the RMB prompt:

send 7; unl unt data

printer is complete.

Because most printers that are currently produced do not have Bi-tronics parallel connectors

(HP-IB) on them, you must connect most printers as non-MMS devices by using an interface

converter.

When using an interface converter, an HP-IB cable (HP 10833A) is connected from the HP-IB

connector on the rear of the HP 70004A color display to one side of the interface converter.

There are a number of dierent interface converters made by Intelligent Interfaces Inc.

(ITEL) that will work. (Refer to Table 1-2). The other side of the interface converter

is connected to a Centronics (parallel) peripheral interface cable (HP 92284A) which is

connected directly to a printer.

Compatibility: the raster print-dump process works with HP raster-format printers

(dot-matrix) that can accept printer dumps of at least 384 lines by 512 points; for example,

the HP 2673A printer and the HP 2225A ThinkJet printer have this capability.(The
