Reverse Power Protection Normal HP8648
This softkey toggles the reverse power protection mode between the normal mode
for the signal generator and the HP 8648-compatible mode.
When you have selected
Normal and you trip the reverse power protection circuit,
a caution message is displayed and the front panel is locked. Eliminate the source
of the excess reverse power detected at the RF OUTPUT connector. Then press
the
Reset RPP softkey to continue normal signal generator operation.
When you have selected
HP8648 and you trip the reverse power protection circuit,
a caution message is displayed and the front panel is locked. However, any
command sent over HP-IB will reset the RPP circuit and return you to normal
signal generator operation. This mode is provided for compatibility with systems
that use the HP 8648. It is only available when you have selected
HP8648A/B/C/D remote language. At all other times reverse power protection is
set to
Normal. Operate in this mode with caution. Repeatedly tripping the RPP can
cause damage to the signal generator. It is still best to eliminate the source of the
excess reverse power and then reset the reverse power protection circuit by
pressing the
Reset RPP softkey.
The RPP reset mode is a persistent state; it is not affected by an instrument preset
or by a power cycle.
