Model 5344S
General Information
1-24.
Ordering Special 5344S Combinations
1-25.
The 5342A and 5343A each have options available as listed in Table 1-5. Two of these
options (Options 001 and 011) are standard equipment with the 5342A in the 5344S System.
However, there may be a desire to have one or more of the other available options. For example,
you may want to include Option 002 Amplitude Measurement with the 5342A in the system.
To order a 5344S System with Options 002, 003, and/or 004 installed in the counter, order the
5344S Option 142. This deletes the counter (but still includes all the necessary interfacing hard¬
ware). Then order the desired counter with the options. Once the separate instruments are
received, they must be connected as described in paragraph 2-19. In the case described above,
you would order:
1.
5344S System Option 142 - Deletes the 5342A counter and:
2.
5342A Option 001, 002 and 011.
1-26.
When ordering in this configuration, be sure to order Options 001 High Stability Oscillator, for
the counter. Option 001 High Stability Oscillator is the key to the 5344S Source Synchronizer System's
stability.
1-27.
For complete remote control of the 5344S system, Option 011 HP-IB should be installed
in the counter. HP-IB is required in the counter only for Frequency Offset Locking under
remote control. If HP-IB is not installed in the counter, the offset must be entered manually. See
paragraphs 3-56 and 3-80.
NOTE
The 5344A can automatically recognize the counter to which
it is attached. Once this has been determined, the 5344A will
limit the maximum frequency to 18 GHz for the 5342A and
26.5 GHz for the 5343A. If the 5342A has Option 005 (operation
to 24 GHz), the 5344A will still limit the operation to 18 GHz.
However, when the 5342A is not being used with the 5344A
(Manual and Auto Lock off), the 5342A Option 005 will operate
as normal to 24 GHz.
