Plotting Using an <strong>HP</strong>-IB Interface<br />

Note The <strong>HP</strong> 7470A plotter does not support 2 plots per page. If you use an<br />

<strong>HP</strong> 7470A plotter with an <strong>HP</strong> <strong>8590</strong> <strong>Series</strong> spectrum analyzer, you can select one<br />

plot per page or four plots per page, but not 2 plots per page.<br />

Equipment<br />

w <strong>HP</strong> <strong>8590</strong> <strong>Series</strong> spectrum analyzer with Option 041.<br />

w <strong>HP</strong> 10833 (or equivalent) <strong>HP</strong>-IB cable.<br />

� Any of the following plotters:<br />

� <strong>HP</strong> 7440A ColorPro plotter with <strong>HP</strong>-IB<br />

� <strong>HP</strong> 7445A plotter with <strong>HP</strong>-IB<br />

� <strong>HP</strong> 7550A/B plotter with <strong>HP</strong>-IB<br />

Interconnection <strong>and</strong> Plotting Instructions<br />

1. Turn off the plotter <strong>and</strong> the spectrum analyzer.<br />

2. Connect the plotter to the spectrum analyzer using the <strong>HP</strong>-IB cable.<br />

Note Because <strong>HP</strong>-IB cables can be connected together, more than one instrument can<br />

communicate on the <strong>HP</strong>-IB. This means that both a printer <strong>and</strong> a plotter can<br />

be connected to the spectrum analyzer (using two <strong>HP</strong>-IB cables). Each device<br />

must have its own <strong>HP</strong>-IB address.<br />

Note Because the spectrum analyzer cannot plot with two controllers (the computer<br />

<strong>and</strong> the spectrum analyzer) connected, the computer must be disconnected<br />

from the <strong>HP</strong>-IB.<br />

3. Turn on the spectrum analyzer <strong>and</strong> the plotter.<br />

4. On the spectrum analyzer, press @%FiZj, Plot Canf ig , Plt Port GonSig ,<br />

PLT PDRT <strong>HP</strong>IB PAR (so that <strong>HP</strong>IB is underlined).<br />

5. The plotter usually resides at the fifth device address. To set the plotter address, press<br />

PLUTTRR ADDRESS , 5, (Hz), to enter the address 5 for the plotter.<br />
