HP 8904A - Abbreviated Specifications: Option 003

Operation Model 8904A
A detailed example of using direct front panel controls to perform hopping is provided in the HP 8904A
Multifunction Synthesizer
Operation and Application guide. This tutorial also has programming
examples and
HP-IB code lists to allow you to perform hopping by remote control.
The use of the Digital Port to perform hopping is discussed later in Section 3 in the Digital Port
information.
Operating Considerations: Option 003
0 Only channel A's parameters can be hopped.
0 If your HP 8904A is equipped with four channels (Option Ool), channel A can be hopped while
it is being modulated or summed with other signals except that the amplitude setting cannot be
hopped when
AM or DSB modulation is selected; and the phase setting cannot be hopped when
q5M is selected.
0 Hop Mode can not be used in conjunction with any of the three Signal Sequence Modes provided
by Option 001.
