The HP 70341A

The HP 70341A frequency extension module is part of the Modular

Measurement System, MMS, and is a slave module to the HP 70340A modular

signal generator. The HP 70341A and HP 70340A , together, provide carrier

frequency range of 0.01 to 20 GHz. (Without the HP 70341A , the HP 70340A

frequency range is 1 - 20 GHz.)

The

HP 70341A Installation Guide

shows you how to install the HP 70341A

into the MMS. The procedures in this book assume that you have already

To Prepare the MMS for 70341A Installation

By following this procedure, you ensure that the MMS is ready for installation

of the HP 70341A.

This procedure assumes that you have already installed the HP 70340A

modular signal generator into the MMS. If you have not installed the HP

70340A, refer to the

HP 70340A/41A User's Guide

procedure, \Installing the

Signal Generator."

1-4

Installing the HP 70341A

To Prepare the MMS for 70341A Installation

1 Congure your MMS so that there is a 1/8 (single) slot for the HP 70341A to the right of the HP 70340A.

In the illustration, the HP 70340A is shown with the HP 70205A Display and HP 70001A Mainframe. In this conguration, the 3/8 display

module, the 4/8 signal generator module, and the 1/8 frequency extension module together ll all slots in the mainframe. Other MMS

congurations are possible as long as the HP 70341A is to the right of and immediately adjoining the HP 70340A.

1-5

Installing the HP 70341A

To Prepare the MMS for 70341A Installation

2 Locate the LINE voltage selector on your mainframe and/or

display.

The location of the selector is as follows:



On the bottom of the HP 70001A Mainframe



On the left side of the HP 70004A Stand-alone Display



On the rear panel of the HP 70205A Display



On the rear panel of the HP 70206A Graphics Display

3 Check that the LINE voltage selectors are set to the voltage

of your power source.

The selector should be set as follows:

115 V

position

for 90 to 132 V ac line input voltages at 50, 60, or 400 Hz

230 V

position

for 198 to 264 V ac line input voltages at 50 or 60 Hz

Installing the HP 70341A

To Prepare the MMS for 70341A Installation

4 Locate the HP-MSIB switches on the rear panel of the

HP 70340A signal generator and check that they are set to the

correct address.

The factory preset HP-MSIB address for the HP

70340A is 0,29 (row 0, column 29) as in the example below.

Refer to step 2 of the procedure,\To Check and Set the HP 70341A

HP-MSIB Address" for help in determining the decimal address.

5 If any other modules are in your MMS, verify the HP-MSIB

address of each.

Refer to your module user's guide, or refer to the following

information when verifying addresses:

Each element (module) in the MMS must have a unique HP-MSIB

address.

There are 255 legal addresses which consist of a row and a

column address.

Address 0, 31 is an illegal address. No elements should be set to

this address.

To Check and Set the HP 70341A HP-MSIB

Address

This procedure explains how to locate and determine the module address

in case you want to change it. If you do change the HP-MSIB address,a

nonconductive stylus such as a toothpick is useful for setting the switches.

Installing the HP 70341A

To Check and Set the HP 70341A HP-MSIB Address

1 Locate the HP-MSIB address switches on the HP 70341A

rear panel.

2 Determine the HP-MSIB address setting.

The factory preset

HP-MSIB address for the HP 70341A is 1,29 (row 1, column 29) as

shown in the example below.

3 If necessary, use a nonconductive stylus to change the HP-MSIB row and column address settings of the HP 70341A as

To Install the HP 70341A into the MMS

The following steps show you how to properly install the HP 70341A into

your mainframe. The procedure is simple; the only tool required is an 8 mm

hex-ball driver which is provided with your mainframe and/or display.

1-10

Installing the HP 70341A

To Install the HP 70341A into the MMS

1 Before installing the HP 70341A into the mainframe or

display, turn the mainframe and/or display o by setting the

LINE (Mains) switches to the o position.

If the system is on when you install the module, personal injury or

To Make Rear Panel Connections

1 Make the rear panel connections between the HP 70340A and HP 70341A, as shown, using a 5/16-in, 8.060.5 lbs-in

torque wrench for the two semi-rigid cable connectors.

Refer to the entry, \Accessories (included)," in chapter 3 for cable part numbers. Refer to the \Connectors" entry for details about working

with the rear panel SMA and SMB connectors.

ToPower-On the HP 70340A/41A System

This procedure veries that the HP 70340A and HP 70341A are properly

installed in the MMS by ensuring that the HP 70340A accepts a 500 MHz cw

frequency front panel input.

This procedure requires an MMS display for front panel instrument operation.

If you are not using a display, follow steps 1 through 3 of this procedure,and

then, refer to the \Generating Signals" chapter in the

Guide

for examples of HP-IB code for generating signals.

Installing the HP 70341A

ToPower-On the HP 70340A/41A System

1 Set the mainframe LINE (Mains) switch to ON.

When you turn the MMS on, the power light comes on and the

ventilation fans start. (You can feel that the fans are on by placing

your hand near the back of the mainframe.) In addition, it is normal

for the HP 70340A and HP 70341A LEDs (including the

ERR

LEDs)

to turn on and o during a power-up test.

To Disconnect Flexible

Coaxial Cables:

CAUTION

1. Grasp the connector body and pull steadily until the connector separates

from its mate. If the connectors will not separate easily, rock the connector

body

very

slightly side-to-side while exerting a steady pull.

2. If the connectors still will not separate, place the jaws of a pair of

long-nose pliers under the connector body. Use the jaws as a fulcrum to

lift the connector away from the rear panel. Use a piece of tape or other

material under the pliers to avoid scratching the surface to which the

connector is mounted.

Exert force only on the body of the connector. Do not pull on the cable.

These connectors are easily damaged.

Electrostatic Discharge Information

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.

Therefore, all work performed on assemblies consisting of electronic

components should be done at a static-safe workstation.

The following gure shows an example of a static-safe workstation using

two types of ESD protection: 1) conductive table mat and wrist strap

combination, and 2) conductive oor mat and heel strap combination. These

methods may be used together or separately. (A list of static-safe accessories

such as when external automatic level control is used.

Option 1E2 - Internal Pulse Modulation Generator

If Option 1E2 is installed, the instrument includes as internal pulse source

with four dierent pulse modes. With Option 1E2, the six pulse modulation

modes available are: external, inverted external, free-run internal, gated,

triggered with delay, and pulse doublet. Pulse rise and fall times are

typically<5ns, minimum leveled pulse width is<25 ns, and on/o ration

is>80 dB.

Safety Considerations

WARNING

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or

outside the system) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal will

cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.

(Grounding one conductor of a two conductor outlet is not sucient

protection.) In addition, verify that a common ground exists between the

unit under test and the system prior to energizing either unit.

Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the system

must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended

operation.

SCPI Conformance

The HP 70341A is a slave module to the HP 70340A and, therefore, can only

be addressed via HP-IB through the HP 70340A. The Signal Generator uses

the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) language

for HP-IB communication. The SCPI commands and queries that the Signal

Generator understands are listed and described individually in Chapter 7,

\Programming Commands" of the

HP 70340A/41A User's Guide.
