Information

Your new 3468A.B is a fully programmable HP-IL digital multimeter. HP-IL (Hewlett-Packard Interface Loop) is a serial Interface allowing the -hp- Model 41C/CV family of calculators or desktop computers such as the -hp- Model 85 to control your 3468A.B. In an automatic test or on the bench, the 3468A.B offers 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 digit resolution for measuring dc volts, true RMS ac volts, 2- and 4- wire ohms, and dc and RMS ac current. The 3468A.B offers dc voltage performance from 1µvolt sensitivity up to 300 volts (full scale), true RMS ac voltage capability up to 300 kHz, and resistance measurements from 1 mΩ sensitivity to 30MΩ (full scale). Its dc and true RMS ac current measuring capability is from 10µA sensitivity up to 3A. The optional battery pack provides up to 5 hours of continuous portable operation. By selecting the number of digits displayed and using the autozero feature, the 3468A.B allows you flexibility in measurement speed and accuracy. Up to 31 readings per second can be made with the 3468A.B in the 3 1/2 digit mode. The fast autorange feature of the 3468A.B allows fast bench measurements over a wide dynamic range. The alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) gives you measurement units as part of the reading for easy-to-read, unambiguous answers. The HP-IL talk, listen, remote, and SRQ status information is also available with LCD annunciators. The SRQ button can be used to flag or interrupt your calculator from the front panel of the 3468A.B. Furthermore, to lower your cost of ownership, the 3468A.B is calibrated electronically, either manually from the front panel or remotely in an automatic calibration system. There are no internal adjustments and the calibration of all functions is done without the removal of covers. The self-test function verifies most of the internal circuitry of the 3468A.B indicating proper operation of the multimeter.

Information

How to Use This Manual This Operators Manual has been designed with you the operator in mind; to serve as a complete reference document for using the 3468A.B as a solution to your measurement needs. It covers both bench use and remote programming. Maintenance procedures, such as installation, are placed later in the manual Chapter V. If, however, you have just received your 3468A.B you may want to read that information. A separate service manual for the 3468A.B contains the information on calibration, performance testing, and service. Familiarize yourself with the 3468A.B by looking through this manual. The best way to feel at ease with the instrument is to sit down with this manual and the 3468A.B and key in the examples shown. It won't take long to become familiar with the instrument and its many features. The following paragraphs will serve as a guide to direct you to the remaining chapters in this manual. Acquaint yourself with the manual before using your new Hewlett-Packard Model 3468A/B Digital multimeter by reading through these paragraphs. Using the 3468A.B, Chapter II Chapter II discusses each function and feature of the 3468A/B in detail. This chapter also covers topics such as optimizing reading rates, alternate triggering modes, and the display. The topics are alphabetically arranged for easy reference. Most of the information in this chapter will prove to be very helpful when you are remote programming the 3468A/B. Programming With The -hp- Model 41C/CV, Chapter III The -hp- Model 41 family of handheld calculators can be used to program your 3468A.B. This chapter teaches you how to execute simple, one-line commands from your calculator and then shows you how to write simple programs for controlling the 3468A.B. At the end of the chapter are several applications programs designed to solve frequently encountered measurement problems. BASIC Language Programming, Chapter IV Desktop computers with HP-IL capability, such as the -hp- Model 85, may also be used to program the 3468A.B. Chapter IV deals entirely with this subject and provides numerous examples to enhance the discussion. Several applications programs are provided at the end of the chapter. Operators Maintenance, . Chapter V This chapter addresses installation procedures, a complete table of specifications, what to do if you suspect problems with the 3468A.B, and many other items of special interest to the operator. Most -hp- service offices in the United States are NOT authorized to service and repair 3468A.B DMM's. Contact your local -hp- sales office for specific information on where to send the instrument for repair. HP-IL Description, Appendix A HP-IL (Hewlett-Packard Interface Loop) is an easy to use and understand Interface that allows handheld calculators, as well as desktop computers, to interact with the 3468A.B and perform many versatile printer, mass storage and control operations. Appendix A provides a complete description of the HP-IL Interface.
