cause
personal
injury.
Be extremely
careful.
Any
adjustments
or
service
procedures
that
require

covers
removed
should
be
performed
only
by
trained
service
personnel.
Caution BEFORE THIS INSTRUMENT IS SWITCHED ON, make sure its primary power

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 softkey definitions.
Programming Manual
Programming Manuals also pertain to multiple- and single-module instrument systems. Programming
Manual topics include programming fundamentals and definitions for remote programming commands.
Service Manual, Available Separately
This manual provides service information for a module, including module verification tests, adjustments,
troubleshooting, replaceable parts lists, and replacement procedures. For ordering information, contact a
Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office. This manual is not always immediately available for new products.

General Information
Introduction
The HP 70205A and HP 70206A Installation and Verification Manual contains information
needed to install and verify operation of the HP 70205A and HP 70206A graphics displays.
For information on installing and verifying HP 70000 Modular Measurement Systems, refer to
the Installation and Verification Manual for your instrument (for example, spectrum analyzer).
This manual contains the following five chapters:
m Chapter 1, “General Information,” describes both the HP 70205A Graphics Display and the
HP 70206A System Graphics Display and their accessories, gives electrostatic discharge and
packaging information, and lists Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Offices.
= Chapter 2, “Installation,” provides information for preparing a display for use and
configuring the display into HP 70000 Modular Measurement Systems.
m Chapter 3, “Specifications,” lists display specifications and characteristics.
m Chapter 4, “Verification,” contains tests required to verify display specifications.
m Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” explains the probable cause(s) of faults and problems
indicated by front-panel fault indicators, and provides diagnosis and problem isolation
techniques to help resolve these problems.
Notation. |
Throughout the HP 702054 and HP 70206A Installation and Verification Manual, softkey
labels are denoted as Fixed-label keys are referred to as “hardkeys” and are denoted as
(TEXT). Hardkey labels on the HP 70205A differ slightly from hardkey labels on the larger HP
702064. For example, on the HP 70206A the display hardkey is denoted as (DISPLAY), while
the same hardkey on the HP 70205A the manual is abbreviated (psp). The key functions are
identical. The HP 70206A hardkey labels are used throughout this manual.
Modular Measurement Terms Used in This Manual
Understanding the following terms is essential to understanding the structural relationship of
the HP 70000 Modular Measurement System devices.
General information 1-1

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.
m Element: Any device that communicates over the Hewlett-Packard Modular System
Interface Bus (HP-MSIB), for 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.
m Master: A module that controls other modules.
w Sub-Master: An element that other elements control and simultaneously controls other
elements.
m Slave: A module that another module controls.
m Independent element: An element that is neither a master nor a slave (for example, the
HP 70205A Graphics Display).
m Instrument: A module, or group of modules, that performs an independent function (for
example, the HP 71100C Spectrum Analyzer).
Structural Terms
Modular systems consist of hardware structures dedicated to specific functions. The structural
terms used in reference to these functions are described below.
m 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.
m 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 (a 3/8-width module} and HP 70206A System Graphics
Display (a free-standing instrument with a 9-inch CRT) are menu-driven human interfaces for
the HP 70000 Modular Measurement System. They display system configuration information,
measurement results, text, graphics, and include built-in trace and marker capabilities.
Softkeys are used to establish an interactive front panel for any modular instrument.
The HP 70206A System Graphics Display may be stacked or racked with the HP 70001A
Mainframe.

Safety Considerations
Before operating the display, familiarize yourself with any safety markings on the display ind
the safety instructions in this manual. This instrument has been manufactured and tested
according to international safety standards. The cautions and warnings in this manual and on
the display must be followed to ensure the safe operation of the displays and protection of
personnel. Refer to the summary of safety considerations at the front of this manual.
Displays Covered by This Manual
The contents of this manual apply to HP 70205A and HP 70206A displays with the serial
number prefix(es) listed under “Serial Numbers” on the manual title page.
Serial Numbers
Attached to the rear-panel of each display is a mylar serial-number label. The serial number is
divided into two parts. The first four digits and a letter are the serial-number SES and the
last five digits are the suffix. See Figure 1-1.
The prefix is coded for the date of the last configuration gege and is the same for all
identical displays; a prefix break or change only occurs when a significant modification is made
to the product. The letter designates the country of origin. The suffix is assigned sequentially
and is different for each display.

Manual Updating Supplement
A display manufactured before or after this manual was printed may have a serial-number
prefix other than that listed under “Serial Numbers” on the manual title page. A lower
serial-number prefix means that all current changes may not have been made to this display.
A higher serial-number prefix means that changes have been made to the display since the
manual was printed. These changes are documented in the Manual Updating Supplement
for this manual. The Manual Updating Supplement may also contain information for
correcting errors in the manual. To keep the manual as current and accurate as possible,
periodically request the latest Manual Updating Supplement for this manual from your
nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service office.
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material
is damaged, the shipping container or cushioning material should be kept until the contents
of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the display has been checked
mechanically and electrically. Refer to Table 1-1 to determine what accessories should have
been shipped with the display. If the shipping contents are incomplete or damaged, notify the
nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office.

400 Hz Option (HP 70206A System Graphics Display)
The display is available with an option that allows it to run on a power-line frequency of
400 Hz. Option 400 uses an external in-line transformer for user with a 400 Hz power source.
Refer to Table 1-3 for ordering information. )
Warning DO NOT operate a 400 Hz Option instrument on a 400 Hz power line without the
attached in-line isolation transformer. Failure to follow this precaution can result
)
ý . in personal injury.
The in-line isolation transformer must be removed for 60 Hz power-source operation. Failure
to remove the in-line transformer may result in a blown fuse. When you remove the isolation
transformer, use a standard power cord. Reinstall the in-line isolation transformer for use with
a 400 Hz power source. This protects the user from shock hazard.
