Manual and Automatic Operation Modes
You can operate the Test Set in either of two modes: manual or
automatic. Controlling the Test Set with the keypad is manual
operation. Controlling the Test Set with a program is automatic
Operation.
Use manual mode when you want to control the Test Set with the front
panel. Manual operation is described in this document.
Use automatic mode when you want to control the Test Set with its
internal IBASIC controller. To use the Test Set in automatic mode, you
must load an IBASIC program into the Test Set’s memory.
IBASIC programs
You can obtain an IBASIC program in two ways: either write it
yourself, or purchase a software package from Hewlett-Packard. To
write programs yourself, refer to the Programmer’s Guide, included
with the Test Set’s documentation.
Many of HP’s software packages are manufacturer-specific packages.
Manufacturer-specific software packages provide automated testing of
the manufacturer’s base station to greatly reduce test times and
provide test setup repeatability. Once configured, the software typically
controls both the base station and the Test Set and prompts the user to
make the required connections during testing. Test results can be
printed and/or saved to a file for later use. Contact your local HP Sales
Office to find out which software packages are currently available.
