Four of the modes are described in later sections, but because of its
wide-ranging effects, Configuration Mode is dealt with in this section.
The five modes are:
PROC
= Procedure Mode:
For calibration of a specific type of UUT, the sequence of 9500B output
selections is determined by a 'Procedure' memory card, placed in the
left-hand PCMCIA SLOT 1 beneath the panel outline. Results can be
printed, or recorded in a second 'Data' card, placed in the right-hand
PCMCIA SLOT 2. Refer to Section 5.
MANUAL
= Manual Mode:
The output is selected and adjusted entirely from the front panel. Refer
to Section 4.
CONFIG
= Configuration Mode:
On entry to Configuration mode, parameters are protected by password.
These include: Power-On default mode (Manual or Procedure modes);
Present Time and Date; Enable Printing; Reformat Printed Certificates;
etc. Refer to Sub-section 3.4.2.
CALIB
= Calibration Mode:
This mode is protected by switch and password. On entry to Calibration
mode, the operator can process the calibration of the 9500B itself.
Calibration can be controlled from the front panel, or via the IEEE-488
Interface. Refer to Section 10.
TEST
= Test Mode:
This mode permits an operator to initiate and interact with any of a series
of tests as follows: 'Base'; 'Heads'; 'All'; 'Fast' or 'Interface'. Refer to
Section 8.
