Description of the Tests Subsystem
The TESTS screens are the also referred to as the Tests Subsystem; a group of
screens used to create, edit, and run automated test programs. Using program
control, the Test Set can run radio tests by itself and control other instruments
using the HP-IB or Serial Port. The HP 11807B Cell Site is an example this type
of testing.
Tests can be run from memory cards, the Test Set’s internal ROM or RAM, or
from an external disk drive.
Test programs are written in the HP Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) programming
language.
For detailed (step-by-step) instructions about using the TESTS screens, see your
Radio Test Software’s documentation or the Test Set’s Programmer’s Guide.
