Adjust
Menu
The Adjust Menu displays the one adjustment that can be performed by the frequency
response adjustment program.
If HP-IB controlled equipment for a given adjustment does not respond over HP-IB, that
adjustment is
flagged MISSINGETE(
missing electronic test equipment). These adjustments
cannot be run.
Equipment connection prompts are displayed on the computer screen. Most adjustments check
equipment connections and only prompt the operator if a
misconnection
is detected.
Note
The Front End Cal adjustment refers to the HP 8481A or 8485A power sensor
as the “Channel B Power Sensor,” even if a single-channel power meter (such
as an HP 436A or 8902A) is being used.
If more than one power meter (or the measuring receiver and one of the power meters) is
present, the program asks which model to use as the power meter. Enter the model number
without the alphabetic character (for example, enter 8902 for an HP 8902A).
