Introduction
This
chapter describes
the mass storage and data storage requirements, addressing, and the
modifications which are allowed for configuring
the
software
to match you mass storage and
data storage devices. Also described
is
the HP-IB addressing of the
test equipment and what
modifications can be
made-
3.1
Mass Storage and Data Storage Requirements
Mass storage
in
this
document refers
to the
storage location of the test software and the
location
of the user generated
calibration data files (described
in
Chapter
6).
The test software
includes
all
of the program files
and data files supplied on the Attenuator Calibration and
Operation Verification disc
(with the
exception of
"Copy") The
total mass storage require¬
ment
is
650
kbytes With
this
mass storage requirement,
the disc drives which may be used
are limited to
a
double sided
3.5" microfloppy
disc drive
(700 kbytes storage capability
per
floppy disc) or a
fixed disc drive with
>
650 kbytes
of
storage capability
Data storage in
this document refers
to the storage location of the test result data files
All
of
the tests
(with the
exception
of
CW
frequency accuracy and loop thrasher) store the test result
data onto the designated data storage device. The data storage requirements per instrument
Is
approximately
15
kbytes-
3.2
Mass Storage and Data Storage Addressing
The software
comes configured for immediate use on an HP 9122D which
is
set to HP-IB
address 700
or on an HP 9133H which
is
configured for one volume and
is
set to
HP-IB
address
700 Witti
either of these disc drives, the mass storage device
is drive
0
and the
data
storage device
is
drive
1
For your convenience, the appropriate switch settings
and some
other additional information about
the disc drive
configuration
is
provided
in the
next two
paragraphs
HP
9122D
-
Set to
HP-IB address 700
(the HP 9122D's HP-IB DIP
switch
is
set up with
switch
1
up and switches
2,3,
and
4
down) When using the HP 9122D, the test
software disc
is
placed
in
drive
0
(left hand drive, HP-IB address ":,700,0")
and an Initialized disc, which
will
be used for test
data storage, is placed In
drive
1 (right
hand
drive,
HP-IB address
":,700,1"),,
HP
9133H
-
Set to HP-IB address
700 (make sure the thumbwheel on the
rear panel is
set
to0).
Set the HP 9133H's rear panel configuration
dial toOor
1.
Make sure the
hard disc drive (drive
0)
is
initialized and has either HP BASIC 30
or 4.0
loaded
along with
the binary extensions mentioned earlier
As mentioned
in
paragraph
2.3, Operating System, the binary extensions should be part of the
HP Basic 3.0
or
4.0 operating system. When
using
the HP 9133H, the test
software is located in drive
0
(fixed disc drive, HP-IB address ":,700,0")
and
an Initialized disc, which will be used for test data
storage,
is
placed
in
drive
1
(floppy disc drive, HP-IB address
":,700,1"),, For more information regarding
the initialization and addressing of the HP 9133H, refer to the "Using Your HP
9133H Disc Drive" manual supplied with the HP 9133H The chapter you need
to refer to
