Module Description

Both the HP 70907A and the HP 70907B External Mixer Interface mo dules (EMIMs)

are 1/8-width mo dules designed to plug into HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement System

mainframes. The mo dules are slaves controlled by an HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement

System master elementsuch as the HP 70900B Lo cal Oscillator.

Both EMIMs allow HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement systems to operate with the HP 11970

Series of external mixers. The HP 70907B also allows operation with the HP 11974 Series of

preselected millimeter-wavefront ends. At turn on, the system master sets the HP 70907B

default state to

preselector-magnetics in an HP 11974 Series front end. If the HP 70907B is used with an

external mixer from the HP 11970 Series,

General

Information

Accessories

The HP 70907A/B External Mixer Interface module may be ordered separately or as part

of a precongured HP 70000 Modular Measurement System. When ordered as part of a

precongured system, the mo dules come with cables that match the factory conguration.

When the mo dules are ordered separately, they are shipped with a group of accessories (refer

to Table 1-1) that allow the most common system congurations.

The accessories in this table are those available at the print date of this manual. For a list

of available system cables, refer to the Installation and Verication Manual for the system

master.

The information in the \L/R" column of the table refers to signal ow \out" to \in" as viewed

from the front panel. For example, if the signal source is to the left of the signal destination

when viewed from the front panel, a \L to R" cable is needed. Bends in the semirigid cables

make this distinction necessary.

Electrostatic Discharge Information

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic comp onents. Therefore,

all work performed on assemblies consisting of electronic components should b e done at a

static-safe work station.

Figure 1-4 shows an example of a static-safe work station. Twotyp es of ESD protection are

shown: (a) conductive table mat and wrist strap combination, and (b) conductiveoormat

and heel strap combination. The twotyp es must be used together to ensure adequate ESD

protection. Refer to Table 1-2 for a list of static-safe accessories and their part numbers.

Caution

Do not use erasers to clean the edge-connector contacts. Erasers generate

static electricity and degrade the electrical quality of the contacts byremoving

the thin gold plating.

Do not use paper of any kind to clean the edge-connector contacts. Paper

or lint particles left on the contact surface can cause intermittent electrical

connections.

Do not touch the edge-connector contacts or trace surfaces with bare hands.

Always handle board assemblies by the edges.

PC b oard assembly edge-connector contacts may be cleaned by using a lint-free cloth with a

solution of 80% electronics-grade isopropyl alcohol and 20% deionized water. This procedure

should b e performed at a static-safe work station.

Returning Instruments for Service

The original shipping containers and materials, or the equivalent, must be used when

repackaging the mainframe with modules, or modules alone. Packaging materials identical to

the original factory packaging (see Figure 1-5) can be purchased through any Hewlett-Packard

oce. However, if these shipping materials are not available, instruments can be repackaged

for shipment using the information b elow.

Caution

Instrument damage can result from using packaging materials other the

original shipping materials or equivalent. Never use styrene pellets as

packaging materials. They do not adequately cushion the instrumentor

prevent it from shifting in the carton. They cause instrumentdamageby

generating static electricity.

Use the following procedure to prepare the instrument for shipment:

1. Fill out a blue repair card (lo cated at the end of this manual) and attachittothe

instrument. Also send copies of any error messages and p erformance data recorded for the

Addressing the Module

The EMIM needs an appropriate Hewlett-Packard Mo dular System Interface Bus (HP-MSIB)

address to b e able to communicate with the master of the HP 70000 Mo dular Measurement

System. The EMIM's address is set using its ROW and COLUMN address switches.

Note

The EMIM can be used in most system congurations without changing the

factory-preset address.

Determining the HP-MSIB Address

The EMIM has a factory-preset HP-MSIB address of 5, 18 (row 5, column 18). Figure 2-1

shows the address map for an EMIM in an HP 71210C system. The addresses in this gure

are the factory-preset addresses for the modules. When a system containing an EMIM is

turned on, the system master selects the front end (EMIM or RF section) that is lo cated

lowest in the address map. As seen in the gure below, the HP 70907B is lower in the address

map than the HP 70908A. Therefore, the EMIM will be selected when the system is turned

on.

Connecting the Rear-Panel Cables

This section contains the instructions for connecting the EMIM when it is used in an existing

HP 71210C system. For HP 71210C system conguration information, refer to the Installation

and Verication Manual for the system's master.

Figure 2-4 illustrates the rear-panel cable connections for the HP 71210C system with an

EMIM added. Make the following changes and additions to the HP 71210C system cabling

when an EMIM is added:

Disconnect the cable b etween HP 70903A 21.4 MHz IN and HP 70908A 21.4 MHz OUT.

Disconnect the RF-section end of the cable connected b etween HP 70900B TUNE SPAN

and HP 70908A TUNE SPAN. Connect an SMB tee (1250-1391) to HP 70908A TUNE

SPAN, then connect the cable from HP 70900B TUNE SPAN to the tee.

Connect the following ports with the cables listed:

Checking Module Operation

The op eration of the HP 70907A/B in an HP 70000 Mo dular Sp ectrum Analyzer system is

checked by examining the front-panel LEDs and bychecking for error messages after the

module's power-on self-test has run. Recheck installation if there seems to be a problem with

module operation, but neither the front-panel LEDs nor error messages indicate a problem.

Examining the Front-Panel LEDs

The p ower-on self-test runs automatically when power is rst applied to the module. The

front-panel LEDs ash on and then o during the

self-test. Immediately after the self-test has run, the ACT LED should beonand the ERR

LED should beo. Refer to Chapter 5, \Troubleshooting," if the LEDs' status is dierent

than that listed above.

Verification

The HP 70907A/B External Mixer Interface module (EMIM) does not haveany module

specications. Operation of the EMIM in the system can b e veried by using the system

master's op eration verication software.

System-level performance sp ecications for the EMIMs, including system specications that

are mo died when an EMIM is added to a system, are in the Installation and Verication

Manual for the system master (for example, HP 70900B Local Oscillator). System-level

testing of systems controlled by an HP 70900 lo cal oscillator can be accomplished in twoways:

Run the system op eration-verication tests, using revision C.00.00 or greater. (For system

operation verication, refer to the Installation and Verication Manual for the system's

master.)

Usage/Operating Errors

These errors o ccur when the instrument is used incorrectly.

2000 Rom check error

| A test of the module ROM has failed. The most probable cause is

faulty HP 70907A/B hardware.

2001 Illegal Cmd

| This error usually occurs in response to a user-generated system

protocol error: the mo dule has encountered a command that it does not recognize. This

can b e caused by the system master's sending such a command, however; if the error is

repeated when the mo dule is moved to another mainframe, the most probable cause is

faulty HP 70907A/B hardware.
