Manual Operation
Compatibility
The 8360 B-Series swept signal generators are designed to be,
in all but very few cases, a complete feature superset of the
HP/Agilent 8340/8341 synthesized sweep ers. The most notable
omissions are that the 8360 B-Series do es not accept:
line triggers (ie. 50 or 60 Hz line frequency)
an external leveling input from p ositive dio de detectors
Front Panel Operation
The 8360 B-Series uses a softkey menu driven approachtoward
accessing instrument functions versus a front panel key or shift key
sequence as with the HP/Agilent 8340/8341.
Instrument Preset Conditions.
The factory dened preset
conditions for the 8360 B-Series are identical to those for the
HP/Agilent 8340/8341. The 8360 B-Series also allo
ws you to dene
a dierent set of preset conditions. Refer to \Changing the Preset
Parameters" in Chapter 1 for examples and more information.
Table 3-7 illustrates the factory instrument preset conditions for the
8360 B-Series and the HP/Agilent 8340/8341. An instrument preset
turns o all the functions and then sets the following:
