Equipment conguration/program installation
The eyeline application will only work with the following pattern generators:
HP 71603B
HP 71604B
HP 70841B
HP 71612A
HP 70843A
In the application, the trigger output (not the clock output) of the pattern
generator is
controlled via
HP-IB by
the
instrument.
The
trigger
output
(not
the clock
output) from
the pattern
generator
must
be
connected
to
the
trigger
input on
the instrument.
