Agilent 70590A Specifications Sheet

About this Manual

We’ve added this manual to the Agilent website in an effort to help you support your product. This manual is the best copy we could find; it may be incomplete or contain dated information. If we find a more recent copy in the future, we will add it to the Agilent website.

Support for Your Product

Agilent no longer sells or supports this product. Our service centers may be able to perform calibration if no repair parts are needed, but no other support from Agilent is available. You will find any other available product information on the Agilent Test & Measurement website, www.tm.agilent.com.

HP References in this Manual

This manual may contain references to HP or Hewlett-Packard. Please note that Hewlett-Packard's former test and measurement, semiconductor products and chemical analysis businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies. We have made no changes to this manual copy. In other documentation, to reduce potential confusion, the only change to product numbers and names has been in the company name prefix: where a product number/name was HP XXXX the current name/number is now Agilent XXXX. For example, model number HP8648A is now model number Agilent 8648A.

General Safety Considerations

WARNING

ARNING

W

The instructions in this document are for use by qualified personnel only.To

avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified

to do so.

The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous

voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources while it is being

opened.

The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain livefor

five 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 likelytomakethe

General Information

The HP 70590A Options H69 and H72 TMAs (Test Module Adapters) are MATE modules

for HP 70000 Series spectrum analyzers. The mo dules translate CIIL (control intermediate

interface language) into the HP 70000 Series native code.

Option H69 mo dules provide a calibration switch signal at the rear panel. Option H72

modules switch the RF and Calibrator signals to the analyzer's RF input.

Returning Modules for Service

If a mo dule is being returned to Hewlett Packard for servicing, ll in and attach a blue repair

tag. Repair tags are provided at the end of this chapter. Please b e as sp ecic as p ossible

about the nature of the problem. Include copies of error messages, data related to mo dule

performance, type of system, etc., along with the module being returned.

Packaging

The original shipping containers should be used. If the original materials were not retained,

identical packaging materials are available through any Hewlett-Packard oce. Figure 1-5

illustrates the factory packaging material. When ordering packaging material to ship mo dules,

it is necessary to order the prop er number of foam inserts.

A 3/8-width mo dule requires no foam inserts.

A 2/8-width mo dule requires one foam insert.

A 1/8-width mo dule requires two foam inserts.

b. For instruments that weigh less than 54 kg (120 lb), use a double-walled, corrugated

cardboard carton of 159-kg (350-lb) test strength.

c. The carton must be large enough to allow three to four inches on all sides of the

instrument for packing material and strong enough to accommo date the weightofthe

instrument.

d. Surround the equipment with three to four inches of packing material, to protect the

instrument and preventitfrommoving in the carton.

e. If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is S.D.-240 Air CapTMfrom Sealed

Air Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet lled

with air bubbles.

f. Use the pink (anti-static) Air CapTMto reduce static electricity.Wrapping the

instrument several times in this material will protect the instrument and prevent it from

moving in the carton.

3. Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tap e.

4. Mark the carton `FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE.'

5. Retain copies of all shipping papers.

Option H72 TMA modules.

Checking the Local Oscillator Firmware

If an HP 70900A Local Oscillator is used, the local oscillator's rmware version must be

861015 or later. To display the rmware, you must use one of the two methods listed below.

The metho d you use depends on the vintage of the local oscillator module and the keys that

Installing the Module

After completing the following pro cedure, the TMA mo dule's HP- MSIB address will meet the

following criteria:

TMA's row address will b e 0.

TMA's column address will be equal to the local oscillator module's column address.

1. Turn the system mainframe's power OFF.

2. Remove the lo cal oscillator mo dule from the system mainframe. For information on how

to remove modules from the mainframe, refer to \Removing Mo dules" in this chapter.

3. Set the lo cal oscillator module's HP-IB switch to OFF.

4. Set the lo cal oscillator module's HP-MSIB row address switches to a value of 1.

Note

The HP-IB switch, HP-MSIB ROW switches, and HP-MSIB COLUMN

switches are located on the top of the module.
