HP 8340B 8341B 08340-90243 Synthesized Sweeper Calibration Manual Vol 2 Aug 1986

This is the original Hewlett-Packard Calibration Manual, Volume 2 (HP Part Number 08340-90243) for the HP 8340A/B and 8341A/B Synthesized Sweepers. Specifically, this volume covers the Attenuator Calibration and Operation Verification Test Software — the software-driven calibration and verification procedures used to maintain and confirm the accuracy of these HP RF sweeper instruments. It is a printed, bound manual dated August 1986.

Applications

The HP 8340A/B and 8341A/B are synthesized RF sweep generators from Hewlett-Packard's high-performance microwave line, produced in the 1980s and covering frequency ranges into the microwave region (the 8340B covers 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz). These instruments were — and for legacy test bench and calibration lab use, still are — widely used in RF and microwave component testing, antenna range characterization, and system-level stimulus/response measurements. This Volume 2 calibration manual is specifically needed when running the software-based attenuator calibration and operation verification routines, which require a host computer, disc drive, and the associated HP test software to execute. Technicians maintaining or recalibrating an HP 8340 or 8341 series sweeper will need this manual to correctly configure HP-IB addressing, load the calibration utility, enter calibration data for supporting instruments (such as the HP 355D IF Attenuator and HP 8485A Power Sensor), and run the full suite of verification tests. It is an essential companion to Volume 1 for any shop performing a full calibration cycle on these instruments.
