Saving to Mass Storage
GPIB Disk Drives
Measurement data and files can be saved on an external GPIB disk drive. The
disk drive must be a 3.5 inch, CS80 compatible, such as an 9122. To use the
drive, you must connect it and enter its GPIB address using DISPLAY menu
softkeys. The procedure in this section shows you how to do this. You will
need to know the disk drive’s GPIB address, unit number, and volume number.
The GPIB address is represented by a digit from 1 through 7. The unit number
indicates an individual slot in the disk drive. Although unit numbers can range
from 0 through 9, they are typically 0 or 1. The volume number is used for
hard disk drives. For reading diskettes, the volume number should be 0.
To Use a Memory
Card
1 Insert the memory card into the front-panel card slot of the microwave
transition analyzer, facing the metal strip on the card downward and toward
the instrument. Make sure the card is fully inserted into the card slot.
2 Select the memory card as the mass storage device by pressing:
DISPLAY, Mass Storage, msi:, MEMORY CARD
3 To display a catalog of the files on the memory card, press:
MENU, page 1 of 2, States, more 1 of 2, mass storage, msi:,
HP-MSIB CARD
If the message "6218 catalog open failed" is displayed, the card is not
in the front-panel card slot. The HP-MSIB address for the card is the same
address as the display’s GPIB address and is normally set to 4. If the address is
not correct, enter the correct address using the numeric keypad.
