Safety

Considerations

GENERAL

This

is

a

Safety

Class

1

instrument.

This

instrument

has

been

designed

and

tested

according

to

IEC

Publication

348,

“Safety

Requirements

for

Electronic

Measuring

Apparatus".

This

manual

contains

information,

cautions,

and

warnings

which

must

be

followed

by

the

service

person

to

ensure

safe

operation

and

to

retain

the

instrument

in

safe

condition.

If

this

instrument

is

to

be

energized

via

an

autotransformer

for

voltage

reduction,

make

sure

the

common

terminal

is

connected

to

the

earthed

pole

of

the

power

source.

BEFORE

SWITCHING

ON

THIS

INSTRUMENT,

the

protective

earth

terminals

of

this

instrument

must

be

connected

to

the

protective

conductor

of

the

(mains)

power

cord.

The

mains

plug

shall

only

be

inserted

in

a

socket

outlet

provided

with

a

protective

earth

contact.

The

protective

action

must

not

be

negated

by

the

use

of

an

extension

cord

(power

cable)

without

a

protective

conductor

(grounding).

Make

sure

that

only

fuses

with

the

required

rated

current

and

of

the

specified

type

(normal

blow,

time

delay,

etc.)

are

used

for

replacement.

The

use

of

repaired

fuses

and

the

short-circuiting

of

fuse

holders

must

be

avoided.

Whenever

it

is

likely

that

the

protection

offered

by

fuses

has

been

impaired,

the

instrument

must

be

made

inoperative

and

be

secured

against

any

unintended

operation.

Any

interruption

of

the

protective

(grounding)

conductor

(inside

or

outside

the

instrument)

or

disconnecting

the

protective

earth

terminal

is

likely

to

make

this

instrument

dangerous.

Intentional

interruption

is

prohibited.

Warning

—

These

servicing

instructions

are

for

use

by

qualified

personnel

only.

To

avoid

dangerous

electric

shock,

do

not

perform

any

servicing

other

than

that

contained

in

the

operating

instructions

unless

you

are

qualified

to

do

so.

Model

5344S

Safety

Considerations

BEFORE

SWITCHING

ON

THIS

INSTRUMENT,

make

sure

the

instrument

is

set

to

the

voltage

of

the

power

source.

Verify

that

the

power

module

is

matched

to

the

available

line

voltage.

Verify

that

the

correct

fuse

is

installed.

BEFORE

SWITCHING

ON

THIS

INSTRUMENT,

ensure

that

all

devices

connected

to

this

instrument

are

connected

to

the

protective

(earth)

ground.

(Grounding

one

conductor

of

a

two-conductor

outlet

is

not

sufficient.)

This

symbol:

Z!\

,

which

appears

on

the

instrument

means:

Read

the

instruction

manual

before

operating

the

instrument.

If

the

instrument

is

operated

without

reading

the

instructions,

it

may

not

operate

correctly.

DESCRIPTION

1-19.

The

Hewlett-Packard

Model

5344A

is

a

companion

instrument

for

the

5342A

or

5343A

Microwave

Frequency

Counter.

This

two

instrument

system

is

called

the

5344S

Source

Synchronizer

which

provides

the

ability

to

obtain

high

stability

and

high

resolution

frequencies

from

various

voltage

controllable

signal

generators,

such

as

the

8620A/B/C,

8640A/B,

8683A/B,

8684A/B,

and

1-5

Model

5344S

General

Information

8350A.

Refer

to

Tables

3-7

and

3-8

for

details

on

compatible

sweep

generators

and

plug-ins,

respectively.

The

front

panel

keyboard

of

the

5344A

provides

controls

to:

1.

Select

a

specific

frequency

to

1

Hz

resolution.

2.

Select

a

center

frequency

and

sweep

over

a

range

of

±20

MHz.

Sweep

time

is

also

selectable.

3.

Select

a

Start

and

Stop

frequency

and

sweep

over

this

range.

Sweep

time

is

also

selectable.

4.

Make

wideband

sweeps

limited

only

by

the

sweep

oscillators

range.

5.

Generate

up

to

four

markers

during

locked

sweeps

(CF/AF

and

Start/Stop).

is

to

be

to

an

existing

5342A

maintain

its

integrity.

In

addition,

the

must

be

modified

as

described

in

This

manual

contains

operating

information

for

the

5344S

However,

at

various

points

it

is

necessary

to

discuss

different

instruments

that

comprise

the

5344S.

To

clarify

this,

the

following

throughout

the

However,

several

The

each

have

options

available

as

listed

in

Table

1-5.

Two

of

these

options

(Options

001

and

011)

are

standard

equipment

with

the

5342A

in

the

5344S

System.

However,

there

may

be

a

desire

to

have

one

or

more

of

the

other

available

options.

For

example,

you

may

want

to

include

Option

002

Amplitude

Measurement

with

the

5342A

in

the

system.

To

order

a

5344S

System

with

Options

002,

003,

and/or

004

installed

in

the

counter,

order

the

5344S

Option

142.

This

deletes

the

counter

(but

still

includes

all

the

necessary

interfacing

hard¬

ware).

Then

order

the

desired

counter

with

the

options.

Once

the

separate

instruments

are

received,

they

must

be

connected

as

described

in

paragraph

2-19.

In

the

described

above,

For

complete

remote

control

of

the

5344S

system,

Option

011

HP-IB

should

be

installed

in

the

counter.

HP-IB

is

required

in

the

counter

only

for

Frequency

Offset

Locking

under

remote

control.

If

HP-IB

is

not

installed

in

the

counter,

the

offset

must

be

entered

manually.

See

paragraphs

3-56

and

3-80.

NOTE

The

5344A

can

automatically

recognize

the

counter

to

which

it

is

attached.

Once

this

has

been

determined,

the

5344A

will

limit

the

maximum

frequency

to

18

GHz

for

the

5342A

and

26.5

GHz

for

the

5343A.

If

the

5342A

has

Option

005

(operation

to

24

GHz),

the

5344A

will

still

limit

the

operation

to

18

GHz.

However,

when

the

5342A

is

not

being

used

with

the

5344A

(Manual

and

Auto

Lock

off),

the

5342A

Option

will

operate
