The HP 70341A
The HP 70341A frequency extension module is part of the Modular
Measurement System, MMS, and is a slave module to the HP 70340A modular
signal generator. The HP 70341A and HP 70340A, together, provide carrier
frequency range of 0.01 to 20 GHz. (Without the HP 70341A , the HP 70340A
frequency range is 1 - 20 GHz.)
The HP 70341A Installation Guide shows you how to install the HP 70341A
into the MMS. The procedures in this book assume that you have already
installed the HP 70340A into the MMS and have veried its operation. If you
have not installed the Signal Generator
, refer to the
HP 70340A/41A User's
Guide chapter
, \Installing and V
erifying the Signal Generator" before using
this book.
Once the HP 70341A installation and power-on procedures are complete
,
operation of the HP 70340A/41A should be veried through the procedure
\V
erifying the HP 70340A/41A Functionality" in the
HP 70340A/41A
User's Guide
and/or through the incoming inspection procedure in the
HP 70340A
/41A Calibration Guide
.Signal generator applications and
reference material are in the
HP 70340A/41A User's Guide
.
See the Learning
Products Map at the end of this book for acomplete list of documentation
pertaining to the HP 70341A.
A
serial number
identication label is attached to the rear panel of this
instrument. The serial number is in the form: xxxxA
yyyyy
.The rst four
digits
,xxxx, and the letter \A" comprise the serial number prex while the
last ve digits,yyyyy, make up the sux. The serial number prex is the
same for identical instruments; the prex only changes when a conguration
change is made to the instrument. The serial number sux, on the other
hand, is unique to each instrument and is assigned sequentially.
