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 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.

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.

Programming

Adding the HP 70590A Option H69 or Option H72 TMA to an HP Mo dular Spectrum

Analyzer allows operation of the spectrum analyzer using either CI IL or its native language

command set. This chapter contains the following information:

Detailed information on the native language commands can be found in the HP 70000

Modular Spectrum Analyzer Programming Manual. The CIIL op eration co des are described

in this manual. They are followed byseveral ATLAS/CIIL examples. Finally, there is a

list of all of the ATLAS nouns and noun mo diers (that are implemented) with their CIIL

equivalent.

The ASA resp onds to the following CI IL operation codes: CLS, CNF, FNC, FTH, GAL, INX,

Measurement System

The measurement system will hereafter b e referred to as the ASA (Automatic Spectrum

Analyzer). The ASA contains two separate parsers: one for CI IL and one for the nativemode.

The language selected at power-up will be CI IL.

The ASA op erates as b oth a STIM device (for signal conditioning purp oses) and a SENSOR

device for measurements.

At the end of each measurement, the ASA is left with the sweep enabled to facilitate ASA

integration until RST o ccurs.

Noun Modifiers

The ASA reads into variables all of the NOUN MODIFIERS and marks a ag for each

modier that is encountered (an RST function p erforms an instrument preset and clears all

modier ags). From the collection of ags and the ATLAS NOUN, an inference will be made

Calibration

The ASA is calibrated byproviding a suitable signal at the selected input and specifying

:CH16 through :CH19 (for inputs 0-3). This calibrates the insertion loss dierences of the

resolution bandwidth lters, their frequency osets, step gain osets, etc. The calibration will

remain in eect until another calibration is performed. In addition, path loss correction may

be performed by sending the setup string:

FNC CAL POWR :CHnn

SET FREQ <value> SET PRDF <value>

..

SET FREQ <value> SET PRDF <value>

<cr/lf>

Up to 20 points may b e supplied. The PRDF values are correction factors to b e added to the

measurements. This correction will remain eectiveuntil the next RST command. For further

information, refer to the AMPCOR command in the ASA command reference manual.

Description

After the data has been gathered, this command is used to fetchvarious characteristics of

the data. A syntax error is generated if an<mchar>is requested that is not specied in this

section.

If the channel number is greater than 19 when the FTH is executed, it assumes that a

user-dened function (downloaded into the analyzer at test-station initialization) is to be

executed. The function is executed before the<mchar>is evaluated and the channel is then

reset to zero (so that the function will only be executed once).

INX

Syntax

INX<mchar

Description

This command initiates the programming of the ASA to acquire the signal(s) of interest.

INX as a minimum always triggers a sweep (in the case of multiple INX FTH sequences).

This command formats an output of the anticipated measurement time in seconds. The

noun-modiers RESP and FREF do not require an INX to eect a change in the ASA.

The next FTH will takeinto account their currentvalue. This is done to facilitate data

interrogation.

An INX command will force the analyzer into the single sweep mode of operation. When in

the XSAM mo de of data collection (multiple sweeps in max-hold), successive INX commands

will trigger one more sweep unless an FNC, SET, SRN, or SRX command has been received.

Trace Transfers Using CIIL

Trace Transfers Using CIIL

There are two metho ds of acquiring trace data (multiple resp onses) using CI IL commands:

1. Raw trace transfers

2. Ordered signal pairs transfers

Raw Trace Transfers

The initiate (INX) portion of the setup results in a signal spectrum (trace) of amplitude

versus frequency. The trace is transferred starting with the lowest frequency. The number of

points transferred is dened by:

SET RESP <number>

In HP 70000 systems the practical limit on the trace length is 800 points. In HP 8566B

systems this limit is 1001 points.

The

raw

Note

method results in the transfer of that portion of the trace sp ecied

by the RESP parameter. If SET RESP 10 is used in a setup, then the rst 10

Self Test

Atpower-on, the TMA module and the sp ectrum analyzer perform built-in self-test routines.

The self-test routine for the HP 70000 Modular Spectrum Analyzer is referred to as Analyzer

Test in the spectrum analyzer manuals. Refer to \Analyzer Test" in Chapter 5 of the

70900A Local Oscil lator Instal lation and Verication Manual

for more information on modular

HP

spectrum analyzer self-test routines.

More complete tests are performed if either the CNF (Condence Test) or IST (Instrument

Self Test) remote commands are executed. Refer to the CNF and IST commands in Chapter 4

for a complete list of the tests run by these commands.

Note

Prior to executing either the CNF or IST command, it is assumed that a

300 MHz,010 dBm signal is present at the input of the sp ectrum analyzer.

After the tests are completed, the spectrum analyzer is left in its instrument preset state.

Assembly Replacement

Due to the simplicity of mo dule design, no replacement procedures are provided. Instead, this

chapter supplies a wire routing diagram for Option H72 modules (Option H69 modules do not

require wire routing information.) Table 6-2 lists the hardware torque values for Option H72

modules. Table 6-2 can also be used to determine torque values for Option H69. In addition

to the required hand tools listed in Table 6-1, you'll need torque wrenches covering the values

in Table 6-2.
