 HEWLETI·PACKARD: AN OVERVIEW

Since Hewlett-Packard Company

(HP) was founded in 1939, the company
has designed, manufactured, marketed,
and serviced more than 12,000 electron-
ic products and systems used for mea-
surement and computation. Applica-
tions for HP products range from
science to industry, and from education
to engineering.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, Califor-
nia, HP employs more than 91,000 peo-
ple worldwide, maintains a sales force of
140 offices in the U.S., and has more
than 300 sales and support sites and dis-
tributors in 100 countries (including
Japan, Canada, the Far East, and Latin
America).
Part of HP's philanthrophy includes
contributing both funds and equipment
to technical programs at universities. In

and lower cost. Hewlett-Packard products
are designed for speed with features such as
the integrated I/O capability of HP BASIC,
optimized firmware such as register-based
VXI, measurement coprocessors, and im-
proved technology.

Cutting Test System Development Time

Hewlett-Packard provides a number of
tools to help you design and build new sys-
tems faster than ever. Easy-to-use program-
ming languages such as HP BASIC, visual
engineering environments such as HP VEE,
and HP Instrument Drivers simplify and
shorten development time. You can quickly
build turnkey systems with HP's wide range
of instruments, controllers, software, and de-
velopment tools.

HP BASIC Controllers
A HP controller with the HP BASIC lan-
guage offers a highly productive environ-
ment for development and execution of test
and measurement applications including
state-of-the-art user interface capabilities.
HP BASIC offers a programming environ-
ment unsurpassed in ease of use and user-
friendliness. You need not be an expert com-
puter programmer to quickly develop
s?phisticated instrument control applica-
tIons. An advanced program editor proof-
reads your code to check for syntax errors as
you type it in. You need not wait until your
program executes to realize that you have
made a typing error. Advanced commands
for moving and copying program lines are
fully integrated into HP BASIC, as well as
other features useful in producing very read-
able, self-documenting programs. Features
su~h as automatic program indentation,
stnng search and replacement, and automat-
ic renumbering of program lines are stan-
dard in the HP BASIC environment.

development time for test systems. It includes computers, software,
standardized instrument language, and services.

Hardware
The HP 75000 family consists of two mainframes and over 70
modules. The HP 75000 Series B Mainframes are designed for low-
cost data-acquisition and control applications, and include seven
B-size VXI slots. The HP 75000 Series C Mainframe is designed for
medium- to high-performance computer-aided test applications, and
includes 13 C-size VXI slots. A broad line of HP 75000 B- and C-size
modules such as switching, digital multimeters, counters, sources,
power meters, and computers are also available.

Firmware and Software

HP 75000 products offer compatibility and a broad range of price
versus performance. All members of the HP 75000 family use the
Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI), (for-
merly TMSL), a new industry standard programming language, to
simplify programming. With SCPI, you can send commands to in-
struments in a consistent, readable form. It conforms to IEEE 488.2.
For example, to trigger a reading, you would send the command
"*TRG" to the appropriate instrument. All HP 75000 products sup-
port the HP Interactive Test Generator (HP ITG) interface. Hewlett-
Packard added these capabilities to the VXI standard to help reduce
test system development time.

HP 70000 Modular Measurement System
General Information

• Optimized for RF and microwave automatic-test systems

• Modular for easier system integration
• Wide variety of products and configurations available

Maximize Your Investment

A number of factors reduce the life-cycle costs of the modular
measurement system. Modularity provides an easy path for upgrad-
ing performance or adding new capabilities. Because the MMS archi-
tecture is open (you can build into the system witbout cost or license
requirements) and compatible with other open standards, you can
make use of new and existing hardware, software, and engineering
expertise. Also, since MMS instruments are smaller than traditional
HP-IB instruments and optimized for ATE systems, rack space is
reduced. The central display/user interface is shared among instru-
ments, eliminating display and front-panel redundancy. When the
display is not needed, it can be excluded from the system, saving even
more space and reducing costs.
HP offers many system support alternatives for the MMS. Built-in
diagnostics and diagnostic software ensure high system uptime by
quickly locating system problems to the module level. You can also
make in-house calibrations and repairs using HP documentation and
software, or you can return instruments to one ofHP's many Custom-
er Service Centers worldwide.
With the modular measurement system, you are assured of the
highest performance and best customer support - today and in the
years to come.

SYSTEMS

HP 70000 Modular Measurement System

The HP 70000 modular measurement system (MMS) is a high-
performance instrument system that covers frequencies from RF and
microwave to lightwave. It helps you reduce cost, save time, and
minimize risk whether you are integrating, using, supporting, or
upgrading measurement systems. More than 40 modules, displays,
mainframes, and standard systems are available. You can also com-
bine MMS with other systems - such as those in the HP Mea-
surement Systems Architecture - that are based on open, interna-
tional standards.

Designed for Performance

The architecture of the modular measurement system is optimized
for RF and microwave instrumentation while meeting industry's need
for downsized, modular products. RF and microwave systems require
good electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) characteristics to achieve
high levels of performance. MMS products meet these critical EMC
standards and give you proven performance today.
The fast, internal modular system interface bus (MSIB) allows you
to control the HP 70000 system remotely. Instruments can be separat-
ed by large distances - up to 1.2 km - and manually operated from
one or more locations. A central display, which is also the user
interface, can monitor up to four remote instruments simultaneously.

How the HP-IB Operates

All active interface circuitry is contained
within the various HP-IB devices, and the
interconnecting cable (containing 16 signal
lines) is entirely passive. The cable's role is
limited to that of interconnecting all devices
in parallel so that anyone device can transfer
data to one or more other participating
devices.
Automation provides the speed needed for prOduction environments. This HP 8957S Cellular
Test System produces accurate, hard-copy test. results in minutes.

Whether you are designing a small, medium, or large test system, A High-Performance System of Large Size
Hewlett-Packard's switch family will provide you with long-lasting
quality, reliability, and performance. Hewlett-Packard's switch prod-
ucts are used in a variety of testing applications such as switching dc to
26.5 GHz signals. Hewlett-Packard offers dedicated switches and
modular systems that include instrumentation. Whatever your appli-
cation, the ability to make accurate and reliable connections from
instruments to test points is critical. Hewlett-Packard's family of
switch products integrates easily into any test system.

Hewlett-Packard Knows Switches!

Hewlett-Packard has been designing and manufacturing switch
products for more than 20 years. WC understand the special require-
ments of a switch in a test system. In the design of our products, we
have addressed important issues such as signal integrity, automation,
fixturing, and ease of use. The result is a wide range of switch products
that gives you a choice-all with the quality, reliability, and perfor-
mance you expect from Hewlett-Packard.

A Low-Cost System

In a large test system, there may be more than one DUT, requiring
different test fixtures, instruments, and switches. In addition, a largc
number of cables and wires are used. Many stimulus and response
measurements need to be made, requiring signals to go to and from
instruments and the DUT simultaneously. With multiple instruments
and multiple points to be tested, you need a dedicated computer to
control the test process. The HP 3235A Switch/Test Unit makes it
easy for you integrate large test systems and relieves you of much of
For many devices, only a few points require testing. Usually, the test the design and documentation effort. The unit includes a multitude of

test procedures. This reduces test time and eliminates chances for test points.
error. The savings you realize from an automated test procedure
makes it easy to justify investing in an HP 3488A.
Modular Measurement System (MMS)
For ATE configurations that employ the HP 70000 modular mea-
A Versatile System of Medium Size surement system, the HP 70611A MMS attenuator/switch driver mod-
ule fills a critical need for programmable control of signal switching.
The switch module supplies drive power for HP step attenuators and
coaxial switches. It controls up to eight HP 84940A driver cards, each
of which can drive up to 31 switches. The HP 70611A also extends
Hewlett-Packard's custom switch matrix capability from traditional
HP-IB rack-and-stack to the versatile, more space efficient MMS.
The HP 70612 and 70613 interface modules give the MMS designer
an off-the-shelf solution to the problem of how to connect sources,
test equipment, and DUTs. Internal high-performance coaxial
switches are configured for lx6 and 2x5 options with service from dc to
6.5 and 26.5 GHz. Each interface module contains an attenuator/
switch driver that can control up to seven additional HP 84940A
switch driver cards.
The MMS display provides a powerful manual interface that can be
easily customized for the HP 70611, 70612, and 70613 modules. See
page 109 for more information.

Mcdium-size systems typically require three to six instruments

testing 10 to 100 test points. The instrumentation takes up rack space,
and manual tests are difficult to run. The HP 75000 Series B Main-
frame reduces your rack space requirements and makes it easy for
you to automate your test system. The unit provides instrumentation
along with a hroad line of switch modules-all in one mainframe.
Your costs and development time are reduced with a test system built
around the Series B.

form mode. Maximum voltage output is ±10 volts; maximum fre-
quency is 1 MHz. Standard ac outputs include sine, square, and
triangle waveforms, with variable duty cycle on both triangle and
square waves. AC outputs are generated by direct digital synthesis,
which provides high accuracy and resolution down to 0.001 Hz. Ar-
bitrary waveform memory depth is 2048 bytes. Arbitrary waveforms

Design Tools
Using design data from this common tool set, the test engineer can
develop digital functional tests concurrent with design development,
with the aid of Mentor Graphics' QuickGrade· and QuickFault· and
HP PreView software.
Mentor Graphics' QuickGrade· permits rapid grading of test pat-
terns, allowing more "what-if" experiments in a shorter period of
time than traditional fault simulators. While its graphical user in-

Grade's· extensive command language is perfect for the advanced
user. Undetected stuck-at faults are displayed on the schematic as
fault flags, giving engineers a quick visual picture of low fault cov-

Mentor Graphics' QuickFault· is a thorough deterministic fault
simulator that can be distributed over a network to decrease analysis
time. The HP 3078 combines fault dictionaries from QuickFault· with
a backtrace algorithm that supports automated measurements using
bed-of-nails fixtures and manual measurements using a hand-held

troduce HP boundary-scan software shortly after the standard was
formalized.

HP Boundary-Scan Software
Supported on both the HP 3065AT board test system and on the
HP 3070 board test family, HP boundary-scan software automatically
creates in-circuit test patterns for individual boundary-scan devices
in a matter of minutes. Quite simply, HP boundary-scan software
makes test generation easy by accepting de-facto-standard Boundary
Scan Description Language (BSDL) files as input and by virtue of its
mouse-driven graphical user interface. Users can click on test macros
that create more than 20,000 source test vectors per minute (HP 3070
mode). At the same time, the graphical interface allows the user to
manipulate the IEEE 1149.1 state diagram. This added flexibility
simplifies the task of generating tests for components with non-
mandatory features of the IEEE standard.

Engineered System Solution

The HP 3070 VXI board test systems reduce hardware devel-
opment time through the lIP AccessPlus pin card. The card and
associated cabling provide an engineered, through-the-system in-
terconnect from the instrument source to the device. This solution
speeds test development by providing standard cables and interface
for connection to VXI or IEEE-488 instruments. HP AccessPlus
resources are controlled with high-level commands that establish
measurement paths and automatically reconfigure for either differ-

that have a few isolated IEEE 1149.1-compliant devices and that see
the value of the quick and easy test generation that boundary-scan
provides. As these companies gain experience with and confidence in
the standard, they will see more boundary-scan devices, many of
which will be connected together. HP boundary scan software on the

HP Safeguard In-Circuit Analysis

Every test generated by an HP 3070 system is analyzed by the
HP Safeguard In-Circuit Analysis software to minimize the potential
for device damage in backdriving testing environments. As each test
is created, the software analyzes device parameters such as package
type, power dissipation, voltage overshoot, and overdrive currents. If
unsafe backdrive conditions are detected, the programmer is noti-
fied. In addition, adequate cooldown times are automatically im-
posed for devices that are being overdriven repeatedly within the test.
This is especially important when testing boards with large ASIC and
VLSI devices that require many thousands of test vectors.

quires extremely accurate posItIonIng ofthe 2 probe plates relatIve to
each other and to the PC board. Longer wires are needed to connect
the upper plate to the system interface, affecting signal quality.
To improve signal quality, it is sometimes necessary to use dual-
stage probing. This technique easily removes the in-circuit probe
loading from the PC board during functional testing on critical nodes.
In the past, special probing requirements meant costly, complex
fixturing. Hewlett-Packard's automatic fixture generation software
and vacuum-actuated and mechanical fixtures provide specialized
probing capabilities at affordable prices.

SMT Testing Solutions

As a major user of SMT, Hewlett-Packard understands the unique
demandS of testing circuit boards designed with surface-mount de-
vices. Each year, Hewlett-Packard designs approximately 150 new
products using SMT, requiring placement of over 450 million surface-
mount devices yearly on PC boards. The HP 307X SMT-Series Board
Test System combines Hewlett-Packard's expertise in SMT with an
extensive background in measurement and computation to provide
solutions for SMT test problems.

The last five years have seen rapid technological advances in the
electronics industry. Device technologies such as application-specific
integrated circuits (ASICs) and VLSI circuitry, which were rarely
used five years ago, now appear in the design of almost every PC
board. However, the greatest impact on the electronics manufactur-
ing industry has been the exponential growth of surface-mount tech-
nology (SMT). SMT, ASICs, and VLSI offer greater capabilities and
flexibility in much smaller packages. Although they have cost and
capability advantages, these new technologies also introduce a
unique set of process- and test-related problems that your board test
system must solve.
Using SMT in the design of PC assemblies allows higher device
densities but results in reduced test pad target size, limited access to
test nodes, and dual-sided component placement. Testing these
densely packed circuits requires a board test system that has ad-
vanced SMT fixturing and test-development tools. That system is the
HP 307X SMT-Series tester.

Testing SMT PC Boards

The primary problems in testing SMT boards are the shortage of
reliable probing points access for detailed diagnostics and the high
component densities that reduce the size of the test pad to be probed.
In an attempt to reduce board geometries even further, manufactur-
ers are placing components on both sides of the PC assembly. This The HP SMT-Series testers provide true combinational test capa-

for through-hole technology that provided large test pads and single-
sided access of every test node. Component densities, reduced access,
dual-sided boards, and smaller probing targets have changed the
probing process.
Close-center probing is frequently required on SMT boards, mak-
ing smaller probes a necessity. Smaller probes are more difficult to
use because they are more flexible and tend to add to the probing
errors of conventional fixturing. In addition, there are few acceptable
methods for connecting more than one wire to the 0.050-inch probe.
On boards where probes are densely packed, it is sometimes neces-
sary to counteract probe spring tension mechanically because vacuum
fixtures cause warping that can introduce failures. The HP SimPlate
Series test fixtures, with their single-plate design, solve the problems
of close-center probing with a 10:1 reduction in probing errors.

Telecommunications Testing
The telecommunications industry is faced with increased world-
wide competition, making product cost and test efficiency major
issues. Test managers must reexamine their existing test strategies
because existing products and the new ISDN technologies will both
be produced and must be tested within the same workcel!. The
HP 3065CT Communications Technologies test system was designed
to solve this problem.
The HP 3065CT is a completely integrated, single-stage test system
for the telecommunications industry. It is based on the HP 3065AT
combinational tester and the telecommunications software. Addi-
tional test instrumentation, new software, and integrated library
elements allow the HP 3065CT to perform CCITT specification tests
on telecom products. Specification testing on the HP 3065CT re-
quires much less time since production-induced faults are detected
with its digital, analog, and combinational test capabilities prior to the
CCITT tests.

Digital Testing of Advanced Devices

Advanced technologies, such as SMDs, ASICs, and VLSI circuits,
allow the manufacturer to place greater capabilities into smaller
geometries. This poses problems, not only in testing the advanced
circuitry, but also in accessing the test nodes on the PC board. HP has

• Electrical test
• Diagnostics
• Online documentation
In our years of experience working with automotive manufacturers,
HP has developed a wide range of software development tools, and
hardware and software platforms that you can build on-from port-
able information and measurement systems to complete assembly-
plant test systems.

Automotive Applications
Automobile manufacturers worldwide know that competitive suc-
cess depends on delivering high-quality products and outstanding
service. HP has built systems that help improve quality and through-
put, whether in the production environment or in the service bay.
Solutions include electrical test systems, diagnostic systems, and
online documentation systems, available as hand-held portable units.
These systems have been built for:

• Component testing. Functional testing of "black boxes" such

as radios, electronic control units, anti-lock braking systems,
and automatic ride control systems.

• Sub-assembly testing. Functional test/verification of sub-

assemblies such as instrument panels, engines, wire harnesses,
and steering columns.

• In-process verification. Full functional testing of vehicle

(static) roll test, quality-assurance audit testing during the
assembly of the vehicle, and end-of-line testing.

• Service bay systems. Diagnosis and testing of vehicles in a

service-bay environment. Systems can be used by new-car
dealers and by independent service agencies. Service bay
systems include diagnostic testing of vehicles in the service bay
or field environment, as well as graphics-based software tools
for development of vehicle diagnostics.

• Information retrieval. Electronic distribution and retrieval of

service-related information. Platforms include both stationary
desktop workstations and portable systems for field and shop use.

HP 10400A Miniature Probe Family

The HP 10400A miniature probe family offers modular construc-
tion, improved reliability, and superior electrical performance over
our previous mini-probes. Modular construction allows individual
replacement of probe tips, cables, and chassis assemblies, cutting
down on probe replacement and repair costs. An extra tip is included
for quick repair. Improved cable and strain-relief design increase
reliability. Electrical performance is also improved by reducing the
probe shunt capacitance and increasing the input resistance, which
load the circuit under test.
The HP I0400A mini-probe family also features accessories (see
below) including a ground lead utilizing a ferrite bead for reduced

• High measurement throughput

• Measure, modify, play back waveforms
• Simulate complex, real signals

HP 5183A Waveform Recorder _

Thc HP 5i83A is not a standalone instrument; it functions as a
digitizing front end to a computer. HP BASIC driver software, opti-
mized for speed, helps to set up, take measurements, and transfer
data at high speeds to an HP 9000 Series 200/300 workstation or
HP Vectra PC. The HP 5183A's auto-advance feature can yield up to
70 measurements (lK words) per second with re-arm time as short as
13 ms. Trigger features allow data acquisition that was previously
impossible or required complex external trigger circuitry. The option-
al512K-word memory allows long continuous records to be acquired.
In one-channel operation, channel one can be configured for 512K
samples with option 512. Adaptive Sample Rate gives the benefit of
catching glitches that would ordinarily escape detection.
HP 5183A

HP 5180A Waveform Recorder

The HP 5180A waveform recorder digitizes and stores single-shot
or repetitive signals. Voltage waveforms are digitized at sampling
rates up to 20 M sa/s (50 ns/sample). Precise voltages (and times) can
be read from the front panel with cursors. The shape of fast attack and
decay single-shot waveforms is preserved because the higher fre-
quency components are accurately digitized.
The HP 5180A controls external XYZ displays and hard-copy
devices to show the contents of memory records without the need for
a computer. Zoom and Gain features expand displayed waveforms
horizontally or vertically. There are two methods of transferring data
from the HP 5180A to a computer for analysis: HP-IB and DMA.

HP 5182A Waveform Recorder/Generator

The HP 5182A can re-create single-shot signals or create repetitive
HP 5l80A signals by playing back a single recording again and again with no time
gap between replays. Test your circuits with the actual signal recorded
rather than a theoretical one.
Continuous (battery backed-up) waveform memory allows on-site
recording of up to 32 waveforms. Carry the HP 5182A back to the lab
and play them back. Attach the HP 5i82A to an HP Series 200/300
technical computer and you can store the waveforms on disk, process
them further, and modify them for "what if" testing.

HP 51800A and HP 51820A Software Libraries

The HP 51800A Waveform Measurement Library is a collection of
programs for measuring signals captured by the HP 5i80A. The
HP 51820A Waveform Generation Software is a set of tools for
creating specialized waveforms.

This new view of data is intuitive and offers a direct view of jitter or
modulation. The HP modulation domain analyzers provide insight
into changes of frequency or time intervals.

A Choice of Solutions
Choose from four HP modulation domain analyzers based on your
project requirements.
Affordability and Ease of Use
The most affordable modulation domain analyzer, the HP 53310A,
includes many innovations for ease of use. Characterization of mod-
ulation and jitter is easier with built-in analysis. Parameters such as
peak-to-peak deviation, carrier frequency, and modulation rate are
all quickly and automatically displayed. Jitter analysis is simplified
with automated mean, standard deviation, and probability functions.
Measurement Versatility
In addition to offering expanded functionality, the HP 5371A and
HP 5372A can analyze signals ranging up to 500 MHz, or (with an
optional configuration of the HP 5372A) up to 2 GHz. Up to eighteen
measurement functions and increased display modes offer the versa-
tility to handle a broad range of situations. With a new hardware
option, the HP 5372A can compute and display a spectral presenta-
tion of jitter data without the need for an external computer or special
processor.
Based on the same technology, the HP 5372A is a superset of the
HP 5371A. Choose the lower-priced HP 5371A or more powerful
HP 5372A based upon your project constraints.

• Three years of hardware support with Option W30 rapidly to shorten evaluation time. For applications that require fast
response to source tuning, these counters are ideal solutions.
In systems enVironments, fast measurement throughput contrib-
utes to overall system efficiency. Delivering more than 100 meas-

ey by reducing test time.

1 GHz/s Tracking: Measuring Fast-Moving Signals

Fast acquisition offers fast tracking speed. With acquisition time
below 60 ms, these counters can track source drift to 1 GHz/s effort-
lessly. For example, when measuring the response of a voltage-
controlled oscillator (VCO) to voltage-source tuning, these counters
track the changing frequency rapidly to measure transfer
characteristics.

Automatic Measurements Simplify Testing

The HP 5361B's suite of automatic features is designed to make
your testing easier. The counter performs many automatic operations
that must be done manually with other counters. All you need to do is
connect your signal and choose the function, and the counter does the
rest. Automatic features include:
Auto-Calibration: Performs a major calibration internally at pow-
er-up, or on command. No external connections are needed.
Auto-Assess: Determines whether the signal is pulsed or CW and
shifts to the correct measurement routines.
AutO-Acquire: Acquires a signal from 500 MHz to 40 GHz.
HP 53618 Auto-Gate: Sets the gate width for CW signals (dependent on the
selected resolution). Pulsed signals are assigned a gate width calcu-
lated to minimize measurement errors.
Auto-PRF: Allows you to measure the carrier frequency of signals

features include Fast Track and Low FM Rate. Fast Trackenables the
counter to measure a signal that is sweeping at up to 800 MHz/s. Low
FM Rate allows measurements on a signal that is varying slowly in
frequency.

Frequency Profiling Made Easy and Inexpensive

Intentional or unintentional FM on your carrier, such as a chirp, is
easy to measure and plot with the HP 53618 and a printer. The
function PROFILE, with a printer, makes it possible to accurately
determine the frequencyvs. time characteristics of your pulsed or CW
signal, replacing a computer, pulse generator, and much software.
Frequency profiling is becoming more important as demands are
increased on radar, EW, transponder, and communication equip-
ment. Unwanted frequency perturbations on a switching voltage
controlled/digitally tuned oscillator (VCO/DTO) degrade perform-
ance. If the linearity of a chirp deviates too much from the desired
characteristics, the range side lobes will be out of spec. Characterizing
frequency transients, modulation, and linearity is essential to low-
ering costs and increasing performance in future systems.
Previously, frequency profiling required a microwave counter, a Set up externally gated measurements with confidence using
pulse generator, a computer, software, and much interconnection. Scope-View.
The PROFILE function allows you to make frequency measurements
inside a pulse with no extra equipment, other than a printer. The
printer is used to output a plot of frequency versus time.

wIth the enllre senes of HP 8480 Power Sensors. Depending on which
sensor is used, the HP 435B can measure power from - 65 dBm to
+ 44 dBm, full scale, at frequencies from 100 kHz to 50 GHz. This
versatile instrument also features < 1 percent instrumentation un-
certainty, low noise and drift, auto-zero, recorder output, optional
battery operation, and long cable options up to 61 m (200 ft).

HP 11683A Range Calibrator

The HP 11683A Calibrator is specifically designed for use with the
HP 435B, 436A, 437B, 438A, 70100A, and E1416A Power Meters. It
allows verification of full-scale meter readings on all ranges, as well as
meter tracking. Simply connect the cable between the power meter
and calibrator. The CAL ADJ control on the power meter is used to
set the meter to full scale on the 1mW range. The calibrator and meter
are then stepped through the other ranges verifying accuracy within
± 1 percent plus noise and drift. The HP 11683A also has a polarity
switch that tests the auto-zero circuit.

HP 8480 Power Sensor Family

The HP 8480 power sensors are designed for use with the HP 435B,
436A, 437B, 438A, 70100A, and E1416A Power Meters. These thermo-
couple and diode power sensors provide extraordinary accuracy,
stability, and SWR over a wide range of frequencies (100 kHz to
50 GHz) and power levels ( -70 to + 44 dBm). HP 11760S

Best SWR in the Industry In-House Power Sensor Calibration

Mismatch uncertainty is usually the largest single source of error in Power sensor calibration is now easier than ever with the new
power measurements. The HP 8480 power sensor family gives you HP 11760S calibration system, designed specifically for Metrology and

ment accuracy. For more information on the HP 11760S Power Sensor Calibration
System, please contact your HP Field Engineer.
Accurate Calibration and Traceability
Each power sensor in the HP 8480 family is individually calibrated
and traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Tech-
nology (NIST, formerly NBS). The uncertainty in this calibration
factor is your link to NIST. The Cal Factor measurement system used
by HP Standards Lab provides you with minimum Cal Factor
uncertainty.

True·RMS Reading Sensors

HP high-sensitivity diode power sensors (HP 8481D/5D/6D/7D)
are always operated inside the square-law region. This means that the
sensor will act as a true-RMS reading device over its entire -70 to
- 20 dBm dynamic range. The benefit to you: HP sensors provide you
with accurate readings even if your test signal is subjected to multi- 64870
tone environments, modulated carriers, or carriers with high _084860_
harmonics. MB84BfiDM

mm·Wave Sensor Calibration

A 50 MHz calibration port is included in HP waveguide power
sensors for calibration with the power meter. This calibration pro- Fceque,:y

Accurate Accessories Included

With HP power sensors, you can start making measurements right
away. No more hunting around for attenuators or adapters. HP
sensors include all the accessories you need to optimize accuracy and
save time.

• Time capture (40 k sample) • Non-volatile memory option stores 127 measurements
• High-speed (7.5 kHz real-time rate)
Solutions in Spectrum Analysis
The HP 3561A gives you the tools for fast, efficient spectrum
analysis. In addition to standard marker features, such as marker-to-
peak and peak tracking, it provides harmonic analysis with automatic
computation of THD in either percent or dB. Band markers quickly
compute rms band level or average band power. Sideband markers
make it easy to identify the frequency spacing of modulation side-
bands and automatically compute the power.

Solutions in Vibration and Acoustics

When used with an accelerometer or other motion transducer, the
HP 3561A is an excellent diagnostic tool for vibration analysis. By
using the display marker capabilities, you can quickly deduce the
cause of many machine vibration problems. For acoustics measure-
ments, the octave displays update quickly to indicate short-term
changes in noise level. Calibrated sound pressure level measurements
are also possible with the simple engineering units feature.

HP3562A

• Network, spectrum, waveform, transient analysis • 80 dB dynamic range with full alias protection
• Linear, logarithmic, swept sine modes • High accuracy (± 0.15 dB)

The HP 3562A is essentially a dual-channel spectrum analyzer that

provides resolution to 25.6 ,uHz anywhere within the 64 ,uHz-to-
100 kHz measurement range. Amplitude accuracy is ±O.l5 dB with 80
dB of dynamic range. Modulation analysis can be performed on either
or both channels with harmonic and sideband markers as well as with
the built-in demodulation capability: zoom measurements can be
AM, FM, or PM demodulated with carrier frequencies up t099.9 kHz.

Waveform and Transient Analysis

Perform complete analysis of waveforms and transients in the time
and frequency domains. Store sampled and digitized waveforms in
internal memory (single-channel time capture) or on disk in an
external disk drive (single- or dual-channel time throughput). Recall
data for time domain analysis as single time records or as a com-
pressed display of up to 10 time records (time capture mode). Data
can also be recalled for baseband and zoom analysis in the frequency
domain with vector averaging, if needed.
The array of triggering capabilities enhances both waveform re-
cording modes. Pre- and post-trigger delays can be specified to
capture the rising edge of a transient or to compensate for delays in
the system under test.

Multichannel Characterization of Changing Signals

Use the HP 3566A or HP 3567A to accurately measure fast-chang-

testing, or surveillance require multichannel analyzers to process
data in real time. Real-time measurement features ensure that tran-
sient events are captured and processed quickly. Eight high-speed
displays allow you to monitor changes in the time or frequency
domain, with waterfalls and spectrograms showing how signals
change with time.

HP 11975A Microwave Amplifier

This general-purpose, leveled microwave amplifier has a frequency
range of 2 to 8 GHz and an adjustable output of + 6 to + 16 dBm. It
has an adjustable bias current output port that supplies a maximum of
+ 11 mA at + 3 V. This bias current is needed by some external
harmonic mixers. The amplifier has automatic leveling control
(ALC) that can be switched on and off. An "unJeveled" light indicates
that ALC is off. Use the HP 11975A as an LO driver for the HP 11970
and 11974 series harmonic mixers to achieve maximum performance.

HP 85901A Portable ac Power Source

This easy-to-carry power source can be used as a standalone battery
for over 1 hour of operation at 100 W continuous load, or can be
connected to an external 12 Vdc source for longer use. It shuts off
automatically when the charge gets low, and can be recharged in
6 hours or less. Over-voltage, short-circuit, and overload protection
on the inverter output are built in. Also included are over-voltage
protection on the inverter input and over-charge and over-discharge
protection on the internal battery.

HP 11867A and 11693A Limiters .

Protect the input circuits of spectrum analyzers, counters, ampli-
fiers, and other instruments from high power levels with minimal
effect on measurement performance. The HP 11867A RF limiter (dc
to 1.8 GHz) reflects signals up to 10 W average power and 100 W peak

HP 11940A and 11941A Close-Field Probes

These hand-held probes are designed to measure magnetic-field
radiation from surface currents, slots, cables, and ICs for EMC diag-
nostic and troubleshooting measurements. Their unique design results
in a high level of electric-field rejection. This significantly reduces
errors, thus allowing calibrated and repeatable measurements.
The HP 11941A operates from 9 kHz to 30 MHz; the HP 11940A,
from 30 MHz to 1 GHz. Five antenna factors appear on each probe
for calculating absolute magnetic-field strength (dB.uA/m) from the
dB.uV reading of a spectrum analyzer. Each probe is calibrated and
comes with a 2-meter RG-223 coaxial cable, an SMA(f)-to-type-
N(m) adapter, and an SMA(f)-to-BNC(m) adapter.

HP 11668A High Pass Filter

The HP 11668A high pass filter accessory is recommended when
making measurements on active devices that have gain below
50 MHz. Use of the HP 11668A, placed after the HP 116658, reduces
the modulator drive feedthrough from 8 mV to 1 mV and prevents
possible amplifier saturation. Use of the HP 11668A filter is not
necessary for passive measurements since the feedthrough from
the HP 11665B is - 65 dBm and causes no degradation in system
performance.

HP 850158 System Software

Using the HP 85015B system software for the HP 8757, you can
create and run complete scalar measurements without programming.
The software guides you all the way from setup to output making all
the necessary settings on the scalar analyzer and source to provide
fast, accurate measurements that can be stored for later reference.

• High-speed/high-accuracy measurements High-Throughput for Manufacturing

• .001 dB, .005 degree, 1 ps, and .001 Hz resolution The HP 3577B brings high-throughput network analysis to manu-
facturing without compromising accuracy. Using discrete sweep, the
• Discrete sweep and limit lines sweep time is typically reduced by a factor of twenty when compared
• Optional HP Instrument BASIC to a traditional linear sweep. Operators select from 2 to 51 frequency
points for measurement. High-frequency resolution is used only in
important regions of the device response; less important regions are
measured with few points or skipped completely. Sweep time is
further reduced by selecting the optimum resolution bandwidth and
settling time for each frequency point.
Evaluation of test rcsults is completed in a tenth of a second using
the limit test feature. Any combination of upper and lower limits, with
up to 20 operator-defined segments, is allowed. Test results are
compared to the limits at the end of each sweep, and PASS/FAIL is
indicated both on the display and on the FAIL line of programmable
I/O port.
Optional HP Instrument BASIC completes the high-throughput
picture by providing fast, error-free instrument/test system config-
uration and control of non-HP-IB devices, such as device handlers.

• Determines permittivity (dielectric constant) or permeability
• Fast, convenient, wide frequency range
• Compatible with most RF and microwave network analyzers

HP 85070A Dielectric Probe Kit

Measure dielectric properties of materials quickly and convenient-
ly with the HP 85070A dielectric probe kit. The measurement is
nondestructive and requires no sample preparation, saving you time,
trouble, and material. Dip the probe into liquids and semi-solids;
there is no need for special containers. For solid materials, press the
probe against a single flat face.
The system yields permittivity, dielectric constant, loss factor, loss-
tangent, or Cole-Cole diagrams-versus frequency-from 200 MHz to
20 GHz (depending on network analyzer and material). Accuracy is
typically 5%.
The HP 85070A kit includes its own software dedicated to the
probe.
HP 85071A Materials Measurements Software
The HP 85071A software calculates materials properties from
S-parameter measurements of samples loaded in a transmission line.
This fixture can be either coaxial (inherently broadband) or rectan-
gular waveguide (banded, but with simpler sample shapes).
Choose from several different models in the software to suit your
material:
• The traditional method (descrihed in Product Note 8510-3)
measures both dielectric and magnetic materials (such as
ferrites and absorbers), and yields both 6: and It:.
• Two other methods determine 6,' of nonmagnetic materials,
but eliminate spurious data at periodic frequencies. One is also
insensitive to the location of the sample in the fixture, so you
do not need to know or carefully control position.
• A simpler I-port method measures 6,* using only reflection
data.
The method yields 1% to 2% accuracy (typical) from 100 MHz to
110 GHz, depending on the material, fixture, and network analyzer.

Millimeter-Wave and Lightwave Test Sets Measurement System
HP 8510 Series

The HP 8510C system can easily be configured for making meas-

urements at millimeter-wave frequencies. Hewlett-Packard offers
hardware for configuring systems in the 33 to 50 GHz, 40 to 60 GHz, 50
to 75 GHz, and 75 to 110 GHz waveguide bands. These S-parameter
configurations allow both forward and reverse measurements to be
made with a single connection to the device under test. The greatest
convenience and highest accuracy is assured through the TRL
(Through-Reflect-Line) calibration technique.

HP 85106C Millimeter-Wave Network Analyzer

Subsystem
The HP 85106C millimeter-wave network analyzer subsystem in-
cludes an HP 8510C network analyzer, an HP 85105A millimeter-wave
controller, an HP 83621A synthesized source, and an
HP 8350B/83540A source (LO), all mounted in a single bay rack with
extendable worksurface. The system setup disk makes the retrieval of
system states fast and easy. System installation at yourfacility and one
year ofon-site service are included with the HP 85106C at no addition-
al cost. Two HP 85104A series test set modules are required to
complete the system. Precision calibration kits and verification kits
are also available for these waveguide bands.
The HP 85106C can be configured as a combination microwave/
millimeter-wave S-parameter system with Option 001. This option
adds an HP 851A microwave test set, 50 GHz source (83651A),
HP 85133D test port return cable set, HP 85056A calibration kit, and
appropriate cabling fo~ convenient sWi~chin& between millime.ter-

The logic analyzer state speed required to capture data from a
microprocessor system depends on its bus rate. Bus rate is a function
of microprocessor clock speed, which varies for different micropro-
cessors. Complex instruction set computers (CISC) typically require
2 to 4 clock cycles per bus cycle. Many reduced instruction set comput-
ers (RISC) require 1 clock cycle per bus cycle. Data showing the
minimum clock cycles per bus cycle is shown for each HP-supported
processor listed in the table above.

o Expandable, up to nine different measurement modules o Support for most microprocessors
o Powerful cross-module triggering o 1-GHz timing and pattern generation modules

HP 16500A Modular Logic Analysis System

The HP 16500A logic analysis system can be configured for a wide
range of measurement tasks, including microprocessor debug, hard-
ware design verification and debug, software performance analysis,
characterization, and functional pass/fail testing. Start with a focused
system, then expand as your needs evolve.
The HP 16500A logic analysis five card slots accept six different
measurement modules. With the HP 16500A, you can do the following:
o Customize your own system by adding cards to the five card
slots.
o Make time-correlated measurements between cards using the

intermodule bus.
o Compare hardware measurement data with design simulation
data.
" Program the HP 16500A with easily understood commands
through HP-IB or RS-232C built-in interfaces,
o Store setups and measurement results in either of two built-in

disk drives for fast recall or permanent record.

o Generate report-quality documentation with pushbutton ease.

The expansion frame provides an additional four' slots to your
HP 16500A Logic Analysis System, giving you control of up to nine
measurement modules from your HP 16500A's interface. With the
expansion frame you can now cross-trigger up to nine measurement
modules and then view your results on the same screen with 10 ns time
correlation.

menus offer aU choices at a glance, and the software does not allow
you to make an incorrect choice. Front-panel operations can also be
executed via mouse and/or keyboard providing complete user-in-
terface flexibility.
Color discriminates between overlapped traces and emphasizes
important points. In addition, you can customize for personal prefer-
ence and environmental considerations. Even infrequent users spend
less time making measurements and more time analyzing the results.
Data display areas are not touch-sensitive, so there is no need to
worry about losing your latest acquisition.

Use Cross-Domain Triggering for Complex

Measurements
Use state to arm timing, or use timing to arm state when the
symptom of a problem is best isolated with one analyzer and the cause
is best isolated with the other. For example, track a microprocessor
program flow around a hardware interrupt. Find the cdgc of the
interrupt signal with the timing analyzer. After the signal is found, the
timing analyzer can arm the state analyzer to start acquiring data.

Correlate 1-GHz Timing with Oscilloscope Waveforms

Connect severall-GHz timing lines while probing simultaneously
with oscilloscope channels. For example, configure 32 channels of
I-GHz timing with four oscilloscope channels to provide time correla-
tion from a single trace point. This procedure allows you to capture
the number of channels you need while simultaneously capturing
parametric information.

Functionally Test Your System

The HP16520N16521A digital Pattern Generator Modules are the
perfect tools for functional test of a digital design. Standard 3M'
connectors eliminate the need to design custom test points onto your
PC board. With the HP 16520N16521A providing the stimulus, you
can use any of the HP 16500A acquisition modules to determine
whether the system is responding correctly.

Pattern Generator Benefits

During the prototype debug phase of design, digital pattern gener-
I--- \ Clock. Pertod----l
ators offer several benefits. Pattern generators can simulate signals
from not-yet-completed parts of the system, such as backplane buses,
other PC boards, or peripherals. Pattern generators allow you to
check the functional characteristics of your system and also allow you
to see how your system responds to unanticipated signals. You can
perform margin testing to determine exactly when your system fails.
Three return-to-zero channels can be adjusted via pop-up windows.

 An additional advantage of SPA is its ability to show convergence
when measuring, for example, the duration of a process. SPA calcu-
lates a measurement error tolerance level each time additional data is
acquired. Best of all, SPA lets you make software performance bench-
marks and predictions before any costly hardware is produced.
SPA is closely coupled to the emulation/analysis environment by
such features as cross-triggering and an enable/disable window. You
can control when data is collected and filter out irrelevant activity.
The software performance analyzer provides overview measure-
ments to aid in evaluating total system effectiveness of programs
operating in real time. Global measurements let software designers
determine where resources are being used in terms of execution
times, memory usage, and interaction traffic. Software performance
measurements aid in determining where to focus optimization efforts

HP 545A TTL/CMOS Logic Probe

The HP 545A Logic Probe contains all the features built into other
HP probes, plus switch-selectable, multi-family operation and built-
in pulse memory. Employing straightforward one-lamp display, the
HP 545A operates from 3 to 18 volts in CMOS applications or from 4.5
to 15 Vdc in the TTL mode while maintaining standard TTL thresh-
olds.
The probe's independent, built-in pulse memory and LED display
help you capture hard-to-see intermittent pulses. Connect the probe
tip to a circuit point, reset the memory, and wait for the probe to catch
hard-to-find glitches.
The hand-held HP 545A is light, rugged, overload protected, and
very fast: 80 MHz in TTL, 40 MHz in CMOS. Handy power supply
connectors easily hook up to supply voltage almost anywhere in the
unit under test.

EJ 0.3 GMSK and n/4 OapSK Modulation Measurement Software
HP 11836A, HP 11847A/B

• Global measurement of GSM and PCN digital cellular Modulation Measurement Software for n/4 OQPSK
radio transmitters Systems: HP 11847A for NAOC and HP 118478
• Characterization of North American dual-mode cellular for JOC Systems
and Japanese digital cellular (JOG) transmitters
• Measurements on I-a baseband drive signals The HP 11847NB 7':/4 DQPSK modulation measurement software
builds on the successful algorithms used in the HP 11836A 0.3 GMSK
software. The design was adapted for the Japanese and North Amer-
ican dual-mode systems that use the 7':/4 DQPSK format.

The HP 11847A software is designed to make measurements spec-

ified in the TINEIA standards IS-54 and IS-55 for North American
dual-mode systems. These include transmitter frequency error, burst
amplitude droop, modulation phase, magnitude error, and error
vector magnitude. The software has a filter factor of 0.35 and is
designed for symbol rates of 24.3 kHz and bit rates of 48.6 kHz.

The HP 11847B software is designed to make measurements on

JDC system transmitters that use the 7':/4 DQPSK modulation. These
differ from the NADC system transmitters because the channel
spacings in Japan are 25 kHz. The resulting symbol rate is 21 kHz and
the Nyquist filter factor is 0.5.

In both versions, the menu-driven software offers a selection of

many graphs and displays of the demodulated signal. These graphs
include I and Q channel eye diagrams, the I-Q constellation diagram,
phase and magnitude vs. time, and error vector magnitude vs. time for
one complete burst. The test option menu allows the user to choose to

Noise Figure Measurement
Applications
Hewlett-Packard's noise figure measure-
ment equipment is exceptional in applica-
tions like these:
Amplifiers: 1) Simultaneous noise figure
and gain measurement; 2) results automat-
ically corrected for ENR variations, ambient
temperature, and mixer, LO, and IF noise
contributions; 3) real-time, swept, corrected
output to oscilloscope for easy tuning (dis-
play is digitally stored); 4) single-test-port
calibration and measurement from 10 MHz
to 26.5 GHz (with HP 8970 S/U systems).
Transistors: All the benefits of measuring
amplifiers plus: 1) easy real-time tuning for
best noise figure and gain; 2) real-time tu-
ning to actual transistor Fmin without sec-
ond stage effects; 3) broadband (10 MHz to
26.5 GHz) single-sideband measurement
(with the HP 8970S/U system); 4) low mis-
match effects (the HP 346A features virtually
identical impedance for Th and Tc); 5) ease
of programming for automatic systems.
Receivers and mixers: 1) Simultaneous
measurement of gain (conversion loss) and
noise figure; 2) tunable and swept IF from 10
to 1600 MHz (with the HP 8970B) and
10 MHz to 26.5 GHz (with the HP 8970S/U);

87104/6A/B Multipart Coaxial Switches

Hewlett-Packard now offers the new HP 87104/6 multiport 50 Q
coaxial switches, with the quality and high reliability you've come to
expect Hewlett-Packard electromechanical switches. Long life, high
performance, and exceptional repeatability are the hallmark of these
new multipart switches. Available in 4 GHz and 20 GHz versions, with
SMA (f) connectors, the HP 87104/6 switches are available with or
without internal 50 Q terminations. Adaptability to your applications
has led to a wide range of configurations, including a choice of
switching voltage; 5, 10, 15 or 28 Vdc or TTL control with 28 Vdc drive,
along with a choice of dc connectors: either solder terminals or ribbon
cable connectors. Internal switching logic assures that only one sec-

HP 362 Series WavegUide Low-Pass Filters

These low-pass filters facilitate microwave measurements by elim-
inating undesirable signals (such as harmonics) from the measure-
ment system. Suppression of such signals is particularly important in
applications such as broadband reflection and transmission mea-
surements or slotted line measurements, where harmonics generated
by the signal source could otherwise impair measurement accuracy.
The HP 362 low-pass filters cover the frequency range from 8.2 to 40

HP 8791 Models 11,21,100, 200, 2000

• Advanced dynamic control • Easy-to-use application-specific software

• 100-ns frequency agility • Precise synthesized signal control
• 40-MHz instantaneous modulation bandwidth • Standalone or subsystem operation
• Arbitrary control over AM, FM, cDM, pulse, and frequency • 40-GHz operation with optional upconverters
hop • Phase-coherent hopping
The modulation data source's digital memory and sequencers store
signal characteristics, namely carrier frequency hop patterns, ampli-
tude, frequency, phase, and pulse modulation data. This data is
supplied to the agile carrier synthesizer, where it is processed and
converted to an analog signal made up of a carrier and its modulation.
This 13.5- to 58-MHz signal is then translated to anywhere between 10
and 3000 MHz by the agile upconverter. A second agile upconverter,

e
used in the HP 8791 Model 21 FASS, translates the signal between 0.05
and 18 GHz. The smart interface manages data flow and signal
generation functions within FASS, as specified by inputs from its
front panel or over HP-IB.

Accuracy and Versatility
Synthesized function generators are for
those applications that require a combina-
tion of an accurate frequency source and a
versatile function generator. Sweeping over
the entire frequency range without any phase
discontinuity makes these generators ideal
for such applications as simulation of rota-
tion signals and filter testing. Even the cali-
bration of phase measuring instruments is
possible by programming a certain phase off-
set between two generators or using the
HP 3326A's two outputs.

• Arbitrary waveform generator
• Phase lock xN and 7N modes, 1/2-cycle mode
reference signal can be provided, and ± 200 deg of phase offset is
available. The HP 3314A phase locks to the plus or minus edge of the
trigger signal; it can lock to a variety of signals such as sines, squares,
pulses, ramps, and others, with complete control of output function,
symmetry, N, phase, amplitude and offset.

Modulation and Sweep

Complete AM, FM/VCO modulation give the HP 3314A versatile
signal modifying capabilities. With 100 kHz bandwidths, AM and
FM/VCO can be used separately or simultaneously to produce many
waveforms.
Multi-frequency measurements can be made with HP 3314A sweep
capabilities. Linear, logarithmic, and manual sweep make measure-
ments of filters, amplifiers, and other networks convenient and accu-
rate. X drive, marker, and trigger output signals are also provided.

Arbitrary Waveforms
For specialized low frequency applications, you can use the
HP 3314A arbitrary (ARB) waveform mode to create custom wave-
forms as a series of voltage ramps or vectors. Values are easy to enter
from the front panel, using the modify knob as a pencil and an
HP 3314A oscilloscope as a pad. For remote programming, use a desktop or
mainframe computer to calculate the values, then program them
using the HP-IB. Arbitrary waveforms are automatically stored in
non-volatile memory for quick recall.

• Tone, DTMF, digital, Hop Ram sequence modes • Unit to unit phase synchronization
• One or two outputs • Optional 600 (} high power, balanced output

Fast Hop
Option 003 adds the ability to externally hop channel A in fre-
quency, phase, or amplitude. Up to 16 frequency/phase/amplitude
states can be entered into the "HOP RAM" memory. To hop, an
external device must address the four-bit wide, TTL-level address bus
provided on the rear panel. Phase continuous switching can be done
in as IittIe as 20 liS.

Unit to Unit Phase Synchronization

With Option 005, multiple HP 8904A's can be phase synchronized
to provide more than two phase related outputs. In the synchronous
mode, one unit is specified to be the master clock unit and all others
arc designated slaves. Two signals are then routed from the clock
master unit to all slave units through external low-loss power splitters.
To synchronize the units, a phase reset command is given to the
master HP 8904A via HP-IB or from the front panel. The total phase

Waveform Setup

With the Option 002, the Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator, the Application Examples
HP 8175A offers the new Arbitrary Waveform mode in addition to the
existing Parallel and Serial modes. The Arbitrary Waveform mode
gives you dual arbitrary waveform channels and simultaneous equiv-
alent digital signals. This means you have the ideal source for such
difficult applications as:
- simulation of two dependent variables, such as force and distance,
at the same time.
- digital and analog simulation of such devices as programmable
filters.
- stimulus and compare signals at the same time for DACs or ADCs.
The arbitrary outputs are 50 Mpointsis, synchronous, but inde-
pendent in shape and amplitude (max 16 V peak-to-peak into 50 ohm
and max 32 V peak-to-peak into open). The waveforms can be set up
by means of algorithms (a fundamental set of mathematical functions
are available, including noise); interpolations (linear and spline);
graphic or tabular entry of instantaneous level (or amplitude and
offset), or tabular entry of equivalent digital pattern. Additionally,
any existing waveform can be modified, simply by tabular or graphical
editing. A more powerful alternative method is using the Combine
feature. This allows you to combine an algorithm arithmetically with
any desired part of the current waveform.

The comprehensive feature set, together with the outstanding

memory management and interaction capability, mean that "real-

environment. This is because programmable data patterns and ar-
bitrary waveforms can be made available at the same time. Repeat-
able timing and voltage settings let you test the device's limits with
confidence.

Signal Quality at the Device

The HP8175A's 24 data outputs are connected to your device or test
head by active pods. This reduces distortion because the connections
between pod and device can be kept very short.
Each pod supports 8 channels so, if you are working with mixed
logic, you can use any combination of the available ECL, TTL, or
variable-level TTL/CMOS pods.
The two analog channels of the Option 002 arbitrary waveform
generator have 50-ohm outputs.

EJ MUltiple-Output System Power Supplies: Descriptions of Key Features

Each model packs up to 200 W in a 5Y.-inch high rack-width

package, providing 2, 3, or 4 independent isolated outputs. Each
output provides extra flexibility by supplying power in both a high and
a low range. (See Figures 1 and 2.) This feature can provide extended
~perating. ranges and increased resolution to meet unique applica-
tion requIrements. The output range is selected according to the
programmed values of voltage and current.
HP Models 6625A, 6626A, 6628A, and 6629A provide both preci-
sion programming and readback of measured voltage and current
o~tput. Their expanded resolution ofup to 0.5 mV or lJlA in program-
mmg and readback makes them especially suitable for component
evaluation and sub-assembly testing.

Protection for the Unit Under Test

ed for each output. If the overvoltage setting is exceeded, a crowbar

VOLTAGE Store/Recall States

These models allow up to 11 sets of voltage and current settings for
all outputs to be stored or recalled with a single command. This
r~duces programming time by eliminating the separate processing
time for up to 7 commands for each output.
In addition, Models 6625A, 6626A, 6628A, and 6629A provide 4 sets

Description
Models 62608-62748
This series of high-performance constant voltage/constant current
supplies includes nine models with output rating from 10 to 60 V. AU
models employ a transistor series-regulator/triac-preregulator cir-
cuit to achieve high efficiency, excel1ent regulation, low ripple and
HP62748 noise, and moderate programming speeds in a compact ful1-rack
width package.
Separate coarse and fine voltage and current controls aUow the
voltage and current outputs to be varied from zero to the maximum
rated value; crossover from constant voltage to constant current
operation occurs automatical1y when the load current exceeds the
value established by the current control settings.
Additional features include built-in overvoltage crowbar protec-
tion; remote error sensing; and auto-series, auto-paral1el, and auto-
tracking operation. The crowbar trip point adjustment and associated
overvoltage indicator are conveniently located on the front panel.
Auto-series, auto-parallel, and auto-tracking connections should
ordinarily include no more than three supplies. If a specific applica-
tion requires the use of more than three supplies in any of the three
connections, consult your local HP Field Engineer for additional
information.
HP 62608, 62618, 62688, 6269B All de output, ac input, sensing, control, and programming connec-
tions are made to rear-panel terminals. Either the positive or negative
output terminal may be grounded or the supplies may be operated
floating at up to 120 volts above ground. Models 6263B, 6264B, 6266B,
and 6267B are convection cooled. Al1 other models in this series
employ cooling fans. Models that output more than 200 watts are
equipped with terminal blocks for ac input and are not shipped with
line cords.

• Constant voltage/constant current operation features included in these supplies. The features vary within the three
model classifications as follows:
HP 6434B~448B: (1) Reverse voltage protection. (2) Fused ac

HP 6453A, 6456B, 6459A: (1) ac line loss protection circuit monitors
3-phase input and cuts off SCR's and opens output bus if a phase
drops out; operation resumes when ac input returns to normal.
(2) three-phase input circuit breaker. (3) Optional internal crowbar
(Option 006) protects load from overvoltage condition.
HP 6464C~483C: (1) High-temperature protection thermostat
opens input to power transformer and lights front-panel indicator if
supply overheats. (2) Prolonged overload protection circuit is activa-
ted and lights front-panel indicator if output current exceeds approxi-
mately 115 percent of maximum rating. (3) Optional internal crowbar
(except on HP 6464C) protects load from overvoltage condition.
(4) Turn-on circuit limits peak line current during startup into low
impedance loads. (5) Phase-balance circuit permits operation with
line-to-line input voltage imbalance up to 8 percent. (6) Overcurrent
and overvoltage circuits of master-slave supplies used in auto-series,
-parallel, or -tracking operation can be interlocked.

Auto-Series, -Parallel, -Tracking Operation

Supplies may be connected in auto-series or auto-tracking (except
HP 6448B and 6483C, which cannot be connected in auto-series).
Up to three lower-power models (HP 6434B-6448B) may be con-

Best Time-to·Test with Windows Software
B
Productivity is increased by a highly interactive user interface
based on the X Window standard. The mouse-operated software is
used to enter and modify parameters for pin timing and levels, and to
modify the vector data. Thanks to the tester-per-pin architecture,
parameters can be defined and changed for each channel individually
without limitations through shared resources. Error maps, timing
diagrams and shmoo plot displays show results in a graphic form
familiar to the engineer. Simultaneous access to different windows
lets you see immediately the results of changes made in the setup.
"Change-and-see" avoids recompilation of test programs and gives
you the shortest possible debug cycle.
Automatic Test Program Generation
The LAN provides fast access to design workstations from vendors
such as Daisy, Mentor, Valid, and HP, and to FACTOR and VERI-
LOG files. Other formats can be adapted by the user during the
translation process or with the EOA programming toolkit. The com-
puting power of a 32-bit workstation, and translation programs opti-
mized for speed, maintain high throughput in the automatic test
program generation.
Software fully supporting the testers' hardware resources gener-
ates a functional device test without user programming. Test vectors,
timing setup, and pin setup are generated automatically.

Test Control Includes Scan-Path Testing

To support "design for testability," a scan-path testing mode is
integral to the system. The memory of up to 256 tester channels can be
serialized via a software command, increasing vector depth on user-
selected channels. A programmable vector sequencer has functions
such as vector repeat, looping and branching on real-time test results
or external events.
Minimum OUT Wiring
"Instant-wired" OUT boards for the popular pin layouts reduce
the time for I/O wiring to zero and are available in various sizes to
allow you to optimize board size and cost for the pin count of your
OUT. A controlled impedance environment from the testers' I/O
circuits to the OUT provides excellent signal fidelity up to 400 MHz.
To cover special IC packages, HP also offers boards that provide
maximum flexibility for user wiring.
Cost·Efficient Configurations
For applications requiring a maximum of 80 I/O pins (160 I/O pins
on the model 050), there is a compact benchtop alternative to the
standard and maxiframe systems. The system components, including
OUT boards, are compatible for upgrades to higher channel counts.
With built-in self-test and calibration, on-site board exchange is easy.
Expansion to maximum-channel-count systems with uncompromised
speed and accuracy is made possible by adding extra mainframes.

Test Power Devices to 10 A and 1000 V

The HP 41422A HCU and the HP 41423A HVU expand the mea-
surement range of the HP 4142B to 10 A and 1000 V. They dramatically
expand the HP 4142B's ability to test power devices, such as power
transistors, power MOSFETs, GaAs FETs, and smart ICs. Using a
combination of the two units, measurements of up to 20 A and 2000 V
are possible.
Using the HCU, fast pulse testing (100 f.lS minimum pulse width) at
high current increases test reliability by minimizing the effects of
thermal drift.
Quasi-pulsed measurements by the HVU are effective for mea-
suring breakdown voltage by minimizing the duration of the break-
down condition.
The HP 16087A module selector is a scanner that lets you remotely
control the connection of the HP 41420A/4142lB SMUs, the
HP 41422A HCU, or the HP 41423A HVU to a test pin. It contributes
to automatic testing for high-power devices with high breakdown
voltage. The built-in module selector can be specified as an option of
the HP 1608BB test fixture.

HP 41428 Modular DC Source/Monitor

Offering a wide measurement range and excellent sensitivity, the
HP 4142B modular de source/monitor is a system-use de measure-
ment instrument especially designed for high-throughput dc semi-
conductor testers. A completely user-definable system component,
the HP 4142B features modular architecture that allows you to build a
custom configuration to suit your measurement needs.

The HP 8782B low-cost vector signal generator offers a wide range

:

of built-in digital modulation from BPSK to 256QAM for microwave

terrestrial and satellite communication applications. The 1 MHz to
250 MHz range covers most of the IF frequencies in commercial
receivers. An internal pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) gener-
ator allows digital modulation without external digital data. The
HP S7S2B provides economical IF signal generation for research and
development and manufacturing. The cost is substantially lower than
the cost of the HP 8780A Vector Signal Generator.

The PT502 is a high-speed version ofthe PT500protocoi tester. The

PT502 features data capture and analysis at rates up to 2.048 megabits
per second, allowing it to test full bandwidth and fractional DSl/Tl or
CEPTlEl data traffic. The PT502 features software for Frame Relay
Monitoring and Emulation. Support for other bit-oriented protocols
such as X.25 and SMDS will be available in 1992.
The PT502 offers unprecedented ability to examine and generate
digital traffic on Tl/E1 circuits from a dedicated protocol tester.
Users of high-speed wide-area data links can now test their traffic live
rather than recording data to disk and examining it later. The PT502
provides a simple method of troubleshooting high-speed traffic, with
filters and triggers that work in real time on full bandwidth 2.048
Mbps traffic. Test scripts designed to simulate network devices and
provide load generation can now work at high data rates, letting you
stress test devices effectively.
The PT502 is designed specifically for network equipment design-
ers and troubleshooters, and can be a useful tool in your arsenal of
solutions for today's high-speed networking needs. With this tester,
you can finally get the complete picture of what's happening on your
Tl/E1 data lines at full speed.

Network performance at a glance

The HP network advisor also presents you with a comprehensive
set of network and node statistics, consolidating information to give
you a feel for the overall status of your network.
Critical Ethernet measurements such as utilization, collisions, er-
rors, and protocol distribution are distilled onto a single screen. For
Token-Ring networks, the HP network advisor takes advantage ofthe
MAC layer network management functions to tell you even more
about your network. Beacons, claim tokens, and a complete break-
d.own of report soft error contents, along with utilization, are plotted
Simultaneously.
When key indicators of network performance exceed network
norms, you are automatically alerted and notified of the condition.
The event log will also contain a notation detailing the potential
problem.

When it becomes necessary to examine the contents of frames, the
HP network advisor provides a complete set of decodes. Decodes for
all the major protocols (TCP/IP, DECnet, Novell, NETBIOS, 3COM,

HP4991A

The LanProbe system consists of one or more LanProbes attached

to Ethernet network segments, and one Probe View software applica-
tion running on a central PC.

HP 4991A LanProbe Segment Monitor

The LanProbe monitors all traffic on the Ethernet and collects
information on node traffic on the segment. It attaches to the end of
an Ethernet segment. Attachment can be dircct to a thin- or thick-
coaxial cable, or via an external transceiver to fiber optic or twisted-
pair cabling. It collects information on: total packets, utilization,
broadcasts, multicasts, and various types of errors. This information
is transmitted to ProbeView software where data is displayed in
graphical form. The optional NodeLocator (for coaxial cable) allows The network is managed locally or remotely.
automatic mapping of nodes to within 10 feet of the actual distance.
The LanProbe also performs cable tests on its segment and marks the
map where the cable disconnect has occured. Remote out-of-band
access is provided through an integral 2400 baud modem or an
external Hayes-compatible modem.

HP 4990A ProbeView Software

HP ProbeView software requires an HP Vectra, IBM PC(AT, PS/2,
or compatible InteI386-c\ass workstation and runs under Microsoft®
Windows 3.0. Probe View displays a segment map with all of the nodes
discovered by the LanProbe. Data collected by the LanProbe on
network activity is displayed in graphical form for quick overview of
network activity. An alert manager, set from within ProbeView,
operates independently to allow the user to be notified if a defined
threshold is exceeded in anyone of the following areas: utilization,
packets, bytes, broadcasts, errors, collisions. A log also records these
and other significant network events. A trace facility uses existing or
user-defined filters to capture and display packets. An optional pro-
tocol analysis feature (Option 200) allows the decoding ofthe follow-
ing protocols: 802.2 or 802.3, TCP/IP, ARPA, XNS, DECnet, Novell,
OSI, Banyan, and Appletalk. The map, trends, node traffic, and log
information can be exported manually into CSV (comma separated
variable) files or automatically through the AutoPolling and autoex-
port feature.
Connection to the Ethernet requires HP ARPA Services 2.1 (or
later) software. RS-232C connections require no additional support. The segment map drawn by ProbeView software identifies and
displays devices that are active on the monitored segment.

HP-IB Accessory Modules

Modules in the HP 59300, 59400 and 59500 Series arc idcal building
blocks to extend the measurement capabilities of instruments. Mod-
ules can be interconnected via the HP-IB to HP measuring instru-
ments, signal sources, and recording devices capable of operating
directly on the HP-lB. In addition, these modules frequently serve to
interconnect with devices which are not themselves capable of direct
HP-IB operation.

HP 59306A Relay Actuator

Six Form-C relays provide control of external devices either
manually from front panel pushbuttons or remotely from the HP-IB.
HP59306A Relaycontacts are specified to switch 28 V dc or 115 V ac at 0.5 A. Each
relay can be programmed independently or multiple relays can be
switched together. Front panel pushbuttons light to indicate the state
of each relay.
The HP 59306A is ideal for providing control of microwave coaxial
switches (HP 8761A/B) as well as control of microwave program-
mable step attenuators (HP 8494 through 8496G/H) using external dc
power supplies.

HP 59307A Dual VHF Switch

This module provides two single-pole 4-throw switches controlled
from front panel push buttons or remotely from the HP-IB. The
HP 59307A is a dc to 500-MHz 50 n switch designed to maintain fast
pulse transition times. The switches are independent and bidirection-
al for optimum use in multiplexing 50 n signal lines into measuring
instruments. The HP 59307A is ideal to switch a standard delay,
HP59307A frequency, or voltage into a measurement loop for purposes of system
calibration.

HP 595018 Power Supply Programmer (isolated DAC)

This single-channel digital-to-analog converter can control a wide
range of power supplies (output voltage, or current), as well as other
analog programmable devices. It may also be used as a low level signal
source, depending on the speed of the controller. It has two output
ranges: 0 -1 and 0 -10 V dc in unipolar mode; -lto + 1 and -10 to
+ 10 V dc in bipolar mode. Photo-isolators electrically separate
HP-lB control and data lines from power supply circuitry by up to
600 V dc. (For additional details see page 535).

custom case that you provide your HP sales office with the in-
strument's exact height, width, depth, the serial and model number,
and any other pertinent information that may affect the design of the
case or cushions (see Customer Ordering Guidelines). For example,
you may wish to have additional space available for the protected
storage of materials necessary for your instrument's on-site oper-
ation. Space can be provided for power/data cables, operating sup-
plies, accessories, additional printed circuit boards, and documenta-
tion or manuals.

Transit Case Styles

Each transit case is coded to its style in the following tables: Transit
(T), a completely removable cover with a handle at each end; Valise
(V), hinged with the handle opposite the hinge; and Valise Transit
(VT), a hinged transit case with a handle opposite the hinge and a
handle at each end. Each case is designed and manufactured in the
style that best suits the configuration of its instrument. If a style other
than the standard is required for your application, a custom case can
be ordered.

Rear Door
A vented rear door is standard. A lockable latch is provided to
secure the rear door against disruption of tests, or unauthorized
removal of system components. The rear door is symmetrical, so the
door can be mounted to open from the left to right. This is useful for
multiple bay applications.
International Dimension Standards
These HP racks meet IEC 297-1, -2, -3 standards with regards to
height, width, and depth.

Vertical Mounting Columns

The new vertical mounting columns have a slot feature to help
position and secure the new support rails. Assembly is easy since rails
do not have to be held in position when bolting them to the vertical
column, ensuring that the rails can only be located in proper EIA
increments.
Configuration is simplified since it is now easy to count EIA units
from the base of the rack. Straight-through mounting holes are
provided on vertical columns for use in conjunction with sheet metal
nuts. Either standard or metric mounting hardware can be used.
Top
The top of the new HP 19-inch rack incorporates a ventilation path
through the roof on 1600 mm and 2000 mm models. This greatly
enhances the ability to dissipate heat. Airflow can be passive (thermal Options

HP 1181A Testmobile System Cart and Accessories

The HP 1181A Testmobile System Cart is the only testmobile that
lets you put 200 lb of instruments on top of the tilt tray. This is HP's
highest capacity testmobile cart. The top tray tilts at a 30-degree angle
providing access to instruments up to 90.7 kg (200 lb). The total
testmobile cart load capacity is 226.8 kg (500 lb). Any 482.6-mm-wide
(19-in) EIA rack mount instrument up to 609.6-mm-deep (24-inch)
can be securely mounted beneath the tilt tray in EIA columns. Heavy
duty 127.0-mm-diameter (5-inch) casters make moving even a fully
loaded cart easy. The usable rackmount space is 533.4 mm (21 in) high
(depending on the tilt angle of the tilt tray it will be less).
A variety of handy options let you customize your testmobile cart. A
top-mounted printer/plotter stand lets you easily use hardcopy out-
put, a keyboard holder supports your keyboard, and a convenient
work surface and storage drawer makes working with probes and
accessories simple. In addition, multiple-output power strips for U.S.
and international use are available. The HP 1181A gives you the most
features and carrying capacity of any testmobile cart available from
Hewlett-Packard.

The standards compliant calibration op-

tion provides the same high-quality calibra-
tion as HP Calibration service plus the fol-
lowing features:
• An enhanced data report. If, during the
calibration process, a parameter is found
to be out of specification, we'll record
data before any adjustment is made. Fol-
lowing adjustment, we'll record new data
for the parameter affected by the ad-
justment. Both "before" and "after" da-
ta appear in your data report.
• Standards compliant documentation.
HP furnishes a certificate of calibration
stating compliance with the appropriate
national or international standards. It al-
so indicates environmental conditions at
the time of calibration. And we affix a
sticker to your instrument indicating the
next calibration due date.
• Out-of-tolerance notification. If one of
HP's measurement standards is found to
be out of tolerance such that your cali-
bration may be compromised, we will no-
tify you and recalibrate your instrument
free of charge.

Calibration Agreements
Calibration agreements offer you substan-

INSTRUMENT FINANCING
Rental, Leasing, and Gradual Purchase Plans

Tailor Your Payments

to Your Budget
Renting, leasing, or financing offers these
important benefits: (1) you acquire the latest
technology without a large cash outlay;
(2) short-term projects can be managed eco-
nomically; (3) upgrading and adding on is
easy; and (4) Hewlett-Packard lets you
schedule payments monthly, quarterly, even
seasonally.

Why Hewlett-Packard?
You use Hewlett-Packard's low cost of
funds to finance at very competitive rates. If
you need to buy the equipment, a generous
equity accrual option allows you to receive
credit for your previous payments. And your
equipment is backed 100 percent by the com-
pany that knows it best.

To Learn More
Contact your HP sales representative to
learn how an HP financing plan can be tai-
lored to meet your needs. HP EasyRent
HP EasyRent was specifically designed for instrument customers who face tight capital
budget constraints. This popular rental plan combines the low rate of a longer-term plan with
early exit options, called "Easy Out Points," to achieve the ease of a shorter-term plan.
HP EasyRent provides a powerful way to acquire HP instrumentation, as you need it.
