This manual applies directly to instruments with serial numbers prefixed 1630A 2812A 1630D 2812A 1630G 2812A 1631 A; 2811A 1631D 2811A With changes described within, this manual also applies to instruments with serial prefixes 1630A 2242A through 2715A 1630D 2234A through 2720A 1630G 2415A through 2602A 1631 A; 2451A through 2714A 1631D 2446A through 2713A SECTION I, GENERAL INFORMATION. This section contains a description of this manual and the HP 163X Logic Analyzer family. This section also gives specifications and recommended test equipment for the Logic Analyzer ECTION II, INSTALLATION. Section II explains how to prepare the Logic Analyzer for use. SECTION III, OPERATION. Operation of the HP 1630A D/G and HP 1631 A/D is outside the scope of this service manual. Section III does give a brief description of front panel controls and information about configuration of the logic Analyzer for IHP-IB and HP-IL operation. For complete operating instructions see the Operating Manual. SECTION IV, CONFIDENCE TESTS. This section concerns the execution of Software based function verification Self Test (ST) tests, which includes the interpretation of status codes to verify correct operation. SECTION V, ADJUSTMENTS.
