FUNCTIONS
[.] [ 0 ]...[ 9 ] (HP-IB: decimal numbers 0 through 9, - (minus) sign, and decimal point) are the numer¬
ical data entry keys. Press any function key, enter the desired numerical value, then press the appro¬
priate terminator key (GHz, sec, dB(m), etc.). Table 1-1 (Specifications) lists the numerical limits for
each function.
[SHIFT] (data entry key) has no effect on the HP 8340B/41B.
[— / BACK SPACE] is a minus sign (-) entry when this key is pressed at the beginning of a data entry
sequence, a back space at all other times.
[SHIFT] [ — / BACK SPACE] has no effect on the HP 8340B/41B.
[GHz / dB(m)] [MHz / sec] [kHz / msec] [Hz / AUTO] are the terminator keys that must be pressed
after a numerical value has been entered. The HP 8340B/41B interprets the terminator key to match
the selected function. For example, GHz is selected when a frequency function is active, dB(m) is
selected when a power function is active. An explanation of each key follows.
[GHz / dB(m)] (HP-IB: GZ, or DB) selects either gigahertz for a frequency function, decibels
or dBm for a power function.
[MHz / sec] (HP-IB: MZ, or SC) selects either megahertz for a frequency function, or sec¬
onds for a sweep time function.
[kHZ / msec] (HP-IB: KZ, or MS) selects either kilohertz for a frequency function, or millise¬
conds for a sweep time function.
