Writing Control Software for the HP 83236A/B

2022-04-21

●Introduction
■The HP 83236A/B is a frequency translator and power meter that is intended to be used with an HP 8920A/B, 8921B, or 8924C Test Set for testing PCS mobiles and base stations.
■This programming note is written to help programmers understand the concepts and algorithms necessary for programming the HP 83236A/B. This note is applicable to programmers that are directly controlling the HP 83236A/B with HP-IB control. For additional information, including programming, consult the HP 83236A/B operating manual (83236-90001).
■The HP 83236A contains only HP-IB control, where the HP 83236B contains both HP-IB and a special serial control directly from the test set. For programmers using the HP 83236A, it is necessary to use the HP-IB control methods described in this document. For programmers using the HP 83236B, there are two choices, either HP-IB or direct serial control.
■The highly recommended method for using a PCS interface with an HP 892X Test Set is to use the HP 83236B (serial control technique) with an HP 892X Test Set that has special firmware supporting the serial control method. Unfortunately, the special firmware for the test sets is not currently available and anyone using the HP 83236A or B will need to use the HP-IB control method described in this document (at least until firmware is available).
■Each section of this document contains an explanation of the programming functions and a flowchart showing the program flow and HP-IB commands. A sample program is also included that shows simple HP BASIC routines for setting most of the HP-IB functions.
