The HP 853A is a digital display mainframe for use with the HP 8557A, 8558A, and 8559A spectrum analyzer plug-ins. Signals are displayed on either of two independently stored digital traces. Display processing capabilities include maximum hold, digital averaging, and trace normalization for extended measurement capability. A built-in microprocessor manages the display operation and provides access to built-in test routines for display calibration and test (accessible via the front panel).
The 853A has limited HP-IB capabilities. CRT trace and graticule data is dumped directly to a listen-only HP-IB plotter by pressing two front-panel push buttons. Control settings on the spectrum analyzer plug-in cannot be monitored via the HP-IB. However, all digital display functions are programmable via a controller, and two lines of annotation can be displayed on the CRT for labelling purposes or operator prompting. In addition, controller commands allow transfer of trace data for analysis or storage.
The display is offered in two styles. The 853A is a ruggedized, portable mainframe complete with tilt-bail handle and drip proof, protective front cover. The 853A is ideally suited for rugged, field service environments and any areas where system monility is required. The 853A Option 001 offers the digital display in a full module bench or rack mount configuration.
