Operation Model 8904A
3-1 1. MENU MAP
The Menu Map illustrates the various menus for all options of the HP 8904A. It is intended
to help you familiarize yourself with the organization of the menus and the steps required to
perform each function. Different menus are accessed by
using the keys in the DISPLAY area
of the front panel.
Selecting Menus
The Channel Configuration and Sequence menus are accessed by using combinations of the
fl, f3, and NEXT keys.
Different levels of each menu are selected using the
NEXT/LAST keys.
You can always return the instrument to the Main Menu level by using the SHIFT and MAIN
keys.
Menu Changes When Using HP-IB Control
If you are using remote control via the HP-IB, the menu on the display only reflects the
"mode" the instrument is
in, and does not show the values for each field being changed. For
example,
if the controller tells the instrument to go to mode 0 by using the command GMO,
the instrument displays the Channel Configuration Mode menu but does not change as you
specify parameters for the different channels. To look at the parameters as they are being
changed,
you must manually select the affected menu.
