Quick Reference (71612-90017)

CAUTION

All of the 71612 data and clock outputs

are dc-coupled.

DO NOT APPLY ANY EXTERNAL

VOLTAGE TO THESE OUTPUTS.

This will damage the internal

The Front Panel

The 70004A Display serves as the front panel for

instruments in the 71612 Series, and as your window for

viewing current system configuration and measurement

results.

Instrument Hardkeys

gain instant access to primary

instrument functions such as data output or result pages.

The keys are color-coded to indicate their function:

•Green for configuration keys

•Blue for result pages

•Black for immediate selection keys for gating and audio.

•Blue softkeys/window: assigned to Results Page

occupies two thirds of screen.

•Green softkeys/window: assigned to pattern generator/

error detector configuration

•Yellow softkeys - green/yellow window: assigned to

Pattern Editor

•Grey softkeys/window: assigned to user pattern

selection and save.

•Softkeys that are “greyed out”are not valid for the

currently selected instrument function.

Fixed Label Keys

Initial Switch-on

1.For a back-to-back system check, connect up the front

panel as shown on page 9. Otherwise, connect up as

appropriate to your application.

2.Connect the 70843 and 70004A rear-panel HP-MSIB

ports as shown on page 10. If not, the red HP-MSIB

LED on the display will light up.

3.Switch on the instruments in your system and check that

all LEDs light up then go off after a few seconds. The

green ACT LED on the 70843 will be lit up when the

instrument owns the keyboard and display.

4.A lit up red E at the top left of the screen indicates an

error in any instrument on row 0 of the address map.

Refer to the 70004A Display Operation Manual for

information about the address map. The red Ealso blinks

if the display detects a fault on the HP-MSIB at

power-up.
