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

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.
