Using The Tape Memory Accessory
This appendix describes how to use the HP 82161A Digital Cassette Drive as an accessory to store and load
test setups and captured data for the analyzer . It also describes how to copy files from one tape cassette to
another.
The digital cassette drive obtains its operating power from its internal battery pack (charged from its power
connector). When operating the digital cassette drive with a connection to 110V, use the ON position of the
power switch . Use the STANDBY position when operating the digital cassette drive from its internal battery
pack without a connection to 110V. The 110V connection provides maximum charge to the battery pack when
the power switch is OFF .
When the digital cassette drive is connected to the analyzer, you can obtain the [Tape Operations] menu
shown in figure E-1 (part of the set of SYSTEM menus) .
The following procedure will help you become familiar with how to use the tape memory accessory, if you have
the HP 82161A Digital Cassette Drive accessory for your analyzer .
1 . Connect the operating power cord to the digital cassette drive and to a source of operating power .
2. Connect the two HP-IL interface cables to the analyzer rear panel and to the digital cassette drive. Note
the different shapes of the two HP-IL connectors .
3. Turn on operating power on the panel of the digital cassette drive.
4. Press the OPEN button on the digital cassette drive, install a blank tape cassette, and close the cassette
door .
5. Press the SYSTEM key on the analyzer keyboard .
6. Press the NEXT[] key to obtain the [Tape Operations] menu . The analyzer will only display this menu
when it has the tape memory accessory connected . See figure E-1 .
NOTE
Figure E-1 shows all of the possible entries for the [Tape Operations] menu . File 1 is an HP-
supplied inverse-assembler file. File 2 is a user-generated file with the date and time of its
creation . File 10 is a copyfile ; it allows copying of write protected files from one tape to
another. The remaining files have no data stored .
