HP 8360 B Series User Manual

Manual Operation
Compatibility
The HP 8360 B-Series swept signal generators are designed to
be, in all but very few cases, a complete feature superset of the
HP 8340/8341 synthesized sweepers.
The most notable omissions are
that the HP 8360 B-Series does not accept:
n line triggers (ie. 50 or 60 Hz line frequency)
n an external leveling input from positive diode detectors
Front Panel Operation
The HP 8360 B-Series uses a softkey menu driven approach toward
accessing instrument functions versus a front panel key or shift key
sequence as with the HP 8340/8341.
Instrument Preset Conditions. The factory defined preset conditions
for the HP 8360 B-Series are identical to those for the HP 8340/8341.
The HP 8360 B-Series also allows you to define a different 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 HP 8360 B-Series
and the HP 8340/8341. A
n instrument preset turns off all the
functions and then sets the following:
