HP 70000 Modular Measurement System Documentation Outline
Instruments and modules of the HP 70000 Modular Measurement System are documented to varying levels of
detail. Modules that serve as masters of an instrument require operation information in addition to installation and
verification instructions. Modules that function as slaves in a system require only a subset of installation and
verification information.
Manuals Supplied with Module
Installation and Verification Manual
Topics covered by this manual include installation, specifications, verification of module operation, and
some troubleshooting techniques. Manuals for modules that serve as instrument masters will supply
information in all these areas; manuals for slave modules will contain only information needed for slave
module installation and verification. Master module documentation may also include some system-level
information.
Operation Manual
Operation Manuals usually pertain to multiple- and single-module instrument systems. Topics include
preparation for module use, module functions, and

Display (a free-standing instrument with a

Instrument: A module, or group of modules, that performs an

Structural Terms
Modular systems consist of hardware structures dedicated to specific functions. The structural
terms used in reference to these functions are described below.
Mainframe: A mainframe is the device into which plug-in modules may be installed to
create an instrument such as a modular measurement system.
Module: Modules are devices that plug into a mainframe. They cannot function without a
mainframe.
Stand-Alone Instrument: An HP-MSIB element capable of performing its functions without
a mainframe (for example, the HP 70206A System Graphics Display).
Display Description
The HP 70205A Graphics Display
Functional Terms
The devices of a modular system may be combined in such a way to allow them to
communicate and operate as an instrument. The following terms identify the interrelationship
among devices within a modular instrument.
Element: Any device that communicates over the Hewlett-Packard Modular System
Interface Bus (HP-MSIB), f or example, the HP 70902A IF section. In contrast, the
HP 70001A Mainframe controls all HP-MSIB communication, but does not communicate
over the HP-MSIB and therefore is not an element.
Master: A module that controls other modules.
Sub-Master: An element that other elements control and simultaneously controls other
elements.

Warning
DO NOT operate a 400 Hz Option instrument on a 400 Hz power line without the

in personal injury.
The in-line isolation transformer must be removed for 60 Hz power-source operation. Failure
