SAFETY SUMMARY
The foliewing general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhers in this manual violates >
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Hewlett-Packard Company assumes no
liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements. This is a Safety Class 1 instrument.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an elec-
trical ground. The instrument is equipped with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power
cable must either be piugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a
three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmiy connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating piug of the
power cable meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
DO NOT GPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components
with power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with
the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits
before touching them.
— DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or per-
form any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Hewlett-
Packard Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are main-
tained.
DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout
this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.
WARNING |

General Information
1-21. INSTRUMENT AND MANUAL IDENTIFICATION.
1-22. The instrument serial number is located on the
rear panel. Hewlett-Packard uses a two-section serial
number consisting of a four-digit prefix and a five-digit
suffix. A letter between the prefix and suffix identifies
the country in which the instrument was manufactured
(A= USA, G-= West Germany, J= Japan, U= United
Kingdom). All correspondence with Hewlett-Packard
concerning this instrument should include the complete
serial number.
1-23. The serial number prefix is the same for all iden-
tical instruments and changes only when a change is
made to the instrument. The suffix is assigned sequen-
tially and is different for each instrument. If the serial
number of your instrument is lower than the serial
number on the title page of this manual, refer to Section
VII, MANUAL CHANGES, for the information that
will adapt this manual to your instrument. This is
especially important if the serial prefix of your instru-
ment is different than the one shown on the title page of
this manual. An instrument manufactured after the
printing of this manual may differ in some respect from
the information in this manual. In this case, a yellow
Manual Changes supplement included with the manual
explains how to adapt the manual to your instrument.
1-24, SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS,
1-25. To ensure safe operation and to retain the instru-
ment in a safe condition, this Operating and Service
Manual contains information, cautions and warnings
: which must be adhered to by the user or service person-
nel.

1-26. The symbol /N appearing on the front or rear
panel of the 3325A is an international symbol meaning
“refer to the Operating and Service Manual”. The sym-
bol identifies important instructions required to prevent
damage to the instrument. To ensure the safety of the
operating and maintenance personnel and retain the
safe operating condition of the instrument, these in-
structions must be adhered to.

2-1. INTRODUCTION.
2-2. This section contains instructions for installing and
interfacing the Model 3325A Synthesizer/ Function
Generator. Included are initial inspection procedures,
power and grounding requirements, line voltage
selection, environmental requirements, installation
instructions, HP-—IB connection procedure, and
instructions for repackaging for shipment.
2-3. INITIAL INSPECTION.
2:4, Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the
shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it
should be kept until the contents of the shipment have
been checked for completeness and the instrument has
been checked mechanically and electrically, This.
instrument was carefully inspected both mechanically
and electrically before shipment. It should be free of mars
and scratches and in perfect electrical order upon receipt.
Procedures for checking electrical performance are given
mm Section IV. If there is mechanical damage or defect or
if the instrument does not pass the electrical performance
test, notify the. nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and
Service Office listed at the rear of this manual. If the
shipping container is damaged or the cushioning material

WARNING $
The line voltage selection switches are located
inside the top cover of the instrument. Line.
voltage selection should be done by trained
service personnel! only.
2-10. Power Cable.
2-1}. In accordance with international safety standards,
this Instrument is equipped with a three-wire cable. When
connected to an appropriate power line outlet, this cable
grounds the instrument cabinet. The type of power cable
shipped with each instrument depends on the country of
destination. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the connector con-
figuration and -hp- part numbers of the available power
cables.
2-12. HP—IB Connections.
2-13. Interconnection data concerning the rear panel
HP-IB connector is provided in Figure 2-2. This connec-
tor is compatible with the -hp- 10631 (A, B, or C) HP-IB .
cables. The lengths of these cables are as follows:
10631A° I meter
106318 2 meters -
1063 1C 4 meters

"UL LISTED POR USE iN THE UNITED STATES OF AMÉRICA
Figure 2-1. Power Cables,
Up to 15 instruments (including the controller) may be
connected in an HP—IB system. The HP—IB cables
have identical stacking connectors on both ends so that
several cables can be connected to a single source, As a
practical matter, avoid stacking more than three or four
cables on any one connector, If the stack gets too large,
the force on the stack can produce enough leverage to
damage the connector mounting. Be sure that the
connector screws are tightened firmly in place to keep it
from working loose during use, and be sure to observe the
Model 3325A
CAUTION of Figure 2-2.
2-14. Cable Length Restrictions. System components `
can be interconnected in virtually any configuration.
However, to achieve reliable system performance, proper
voltage levels and timing relationships must be
maintained. If the system cable is too long, the lines
cannot be driven properly and the system will fail to
perform. The maximum length of cable that can be used
to connect a group of instruments must not exceed 2
meters (6.5 ft.) times the number of instruments to be
connected, or 20 meters (65.6 ft.), whichever is less.
2-15. 3325A Listen /Taik Address.
2-16. The 3325A is normally shipped from the factory
with the listen address set to ASCII character 1; talk ad-
dress Q. The 3325A address switches are. located inside
the top cover near the center of the instrument. The pos-
sible HP-IB addresses are shown in Table 2-1. The five
switches (marked 1 through 5) are set according to the
ASCII code address chosen. The 3325A may be set to
a “listen only” condition by having the switch marked:
LON set to the “17 position.

Model 3325A
NOTE
The HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard Company's
implementation of IEEE Standard 488-1978.
3-3. PANEL FEATURES.
3-4. Figure 3-1 identifies and describes the functions of
the front and rear panel controls, indicators, and con-
nectors.
3-5. POWER/WARM-—UP.
3-6. The Model 3325A requires a power source of 100,
120, 220, or 240 Vac, + 5% -10%, 48 to 66 Hz single
phase. The selection of line voltage and fuse is described
in Paragraph 2-8 and Figure 2-1.
3-7, The 3325A POWER switch has two positions,
STBY and ON. Power is apphed to some circuits at any
time the instrument 1s connected to the ac power source.
If the instrument has the Oven Assembly Option 001 in-
stalled, it is important that it remain connected to the
power source to maintain a constant oven temperature,
eliminating the need for a long warm-up peried. If an
instrument with the Oven Assembly has been discon-
nected from ac power no longer than 24 hours, a
IS-minute warmup period is sufficient to bring the
reference frequency to within — 1 x 107 of final value.
3-8. INITIAL CONDITIONS.
3-9. After the POWER switch has been set to ON,
the instrument status will be as follows:

NOTES
1. If the display reads OSC FAIL the fre-
quency synthesis circuits are not operating
properly. -
2. If A-CAL FAIL appears in the display
momentarily after turn-on, any one of the
three AMPTD CAL tests could be incorrect.
Perform a SELF TEST operation to identify
the failure.
3. If either of the above conditions occurs,
refer the instrument to qualified service per-
sonnel for repair.
Operation
3-10. SELF TEST,
3-11. The self test operation is initiated by pressing the -
blue prefix key, then the SELF TEST key (AMPTD
CAL). This test uses the control, ROM, and control
clock circuits to perform the following checks:
LED check: Turns on all LEDs for about 2.
seconds |
Check 1: Tests AMPTD CAL of the sine wave
Check 2: Tests AMPTD CAL of the square wave
Check 3: Tests AMPTD CAL of the triangle wave
Following each check the display indicates either PASS
or FAIL for approximately one second. If all tests pass,
this indicates that approximately 60% of all circuits are
operating properly. |
3-12. FRONT/REAR SIGNAL OUTPUT.
The maximum peak voltage that can be safe-
y applied between chassis and the outer con-
ductor of any of the 33254 input or oufpui
signal connectors is +42 V. |
3-13, The standard Model 3325A provides selectable
front or rear panel 50-ohm signal outputs. The rear
panel signal output is selected by pressing the REAR
ONLY key. The lighted indicator in the center of this
key denotes that the signal output is at the rear panel.
NOTE °
The rear panel SIGNAL output is not pre-
sent on instruments equipped with the High-
Voltage Outpur Option 002.
3-14, SYNC QUTPUT,
3-15. A square wave sync output is provided at BNC
connectors on both the front and rear panels. This sync:
signal is always in phase with the output signal, with the
sync transition occurring at the signal zero crossing, or
when the signal crosses the dc offset voltage. The output
impedance of either front or rear panel sync output Is
approximately 50 ohms. When connected to a 30-ohm
coaxial cable that is terminated by a 30 ohm resistive
load, the sync signal levels are as follows:
Low Level = < 0.2V
High levei = > 1.2 V
NOTE
If a sync output is connected to à 50-ohm
coaxial cable that is terminated by a high im-
pedance load (=1 megohm) the voltage
levels are approximately twice the values
given above. However, the improper ter-
3-3
Operation
mination of the 50-ohm system will cause
ringing al the positive and negative transi-
lions of the sync signal.
3-16. EXTERNAL REFERENCE INPUT.
3-17. The 3325A may be operated with an external
reference to. control the standard 30 MHz internal
reference oscillator frequency. The external reference
level must be greater than 0 dBm (50 ohms), and the fre-
quency must be within 10 PPM of 10 MHz or a sub-
multiple thereof down to 1 MHz (10, 5, 3.33, 2.5, or |
MHz). The front panel EXT REF annunciator will light
to indicate that an external reference is being used. The
internal reference oscillator is phase locked to the exter-
nal reference, and a phase lock detector circuit causes
the EXT REF light to flash if synchronization is lost.
3-18. 10 MHz OVEN OPTION 001.
3-19, Option 001 is a temperature stabilized 10 MHz
oscillator which provides improved frequency stability
(sec specifications in Table 1-1). The output from this
oscillator is at the rear panel 10 MHz OVEN OUTPUT
connector. This output must be connected to the EXT
REF input. A special connector, -hp- Part No.
1250-1499, is provided with Option 001 for this pur-
pose. “
3-20. MANUAL PROGRAMMING.
3-21. The following paragraphs describe the procedures
for operating the 3325A from the front panel, Also in-
cluded are the limits for each parameter,
3-22. Clear Display,
3-23. Pressing the CLEAR key (in the left column of
the DATA group) clears the display to zero. This key is
useful when an error is made while entering data.
3-24. Entry Errors.
3-25. The word “Error” will appear in the display for
approximately one second when an error in programm-
ing occurs. The incorrect entry will not be accepted.

3-27. Any of the five functions may be selected by
pressing the appropriate FUNCTION key, A light in the.
center of the key indicates the present function. Pressing
the same key the second time removes the ac signal, set-
ting the output to zero unless a de offset has been pro-
grammed (see Paragraph 3-43). When the ac signal is
removed in this way, the instrument automatically
displays de offset, and the de offset entry key light
comes on. The ac signal can be restored by pressing the
FUNCTION key again. The output signal for each
function is centered about zero volts unless a dc offset
has been programmed.
NOTE
The standard instrument signal output must
be terminated by an external 50-ohm load or
sine wave distortion and square wave over-
shoot may result, particularly at higher fre-
quencies.

3-29. Enter frequency by first pressing the FREQ EN-
TRY key, then the numerical data, followed by the data

3-32. Frequency Display and Resolution.
3-33. Frequency is always displayed in Hz, even though
the entry may have been made in kHz or MHz. For ex-
ample, an entry of 1.2 MHz 1s displayed as
1 200 000.0 Hz. Non-significant zeroes to the right of
the first digit following the decimal point are not
displayed except during a “modify” condition (see
Paragraph 3-68). The maximum resolution is 1 uHz for
frequencies up to and including 99 999,999 999 Hz, and
! mHz for frequencies of 100 000.000 Hz and higher.
3-34. Auxiliary Qutput (Sine Function Gniy).
3-35. À rear-panel auxiliary output can be used for fre-
quencies above 19 MHz to a maximum of 60 999
999.999 Hz, The output level is a nominal 0 dBm into 50
ohms. The output automatically switches to the AUX
output when frequencies of 21 000 000.000 Hz or higher
are programmed. For this reason, the AUX output 15
labeled “21-60 MHz’. Frequencies between 19 MHz
and 21 MHz can be obtained at the AUX output only by
first entering 2! MHz or higher, then entering the
desired frequency. For example, if the desired frequency
is 19.5 MHz, first enter “FREQ 21 MHZ", then
19.5 MHz”, Then, if a front panel SIGNAL output of
19.5 MHz (or any frequency between 19 MHz and
21 MHz) is desired, enter any frequency 19 MHZ or
lower, then enter 19.5 MHz.
NOTE
Only one signal output is active at one time.
A lighted “21-60 MHZ Rear” annunciator in-
dicates that the rear panel AUX, 0 dBm, 21-60
MHZ output is active. A lighted “Signal, Rear
Only” annunciator indicates that the rear
panel signal output is active, Neither light on,
indicates the front panel signal output is
active.
3-36. Amplitude Entry.
3-37. Amplitude is entered and displayed with 4-digit
resolution. Press the AMPTD ENTRY key, then the
numerical data, followed by the V, mV, Vrms, mVrms,
or dBm key. The V and mV keys enter peak-to-peak
value of ac functions. Maximum and minimum
amplitudes for each function are shown in Table 3-2,
3-38. The 3325A will convert an amplitude value be-
tween peak-to-peak, rms, or dBm for any function. For
example, if a sine wave amplitude of 10 V p-p has been
entered, press the Vrms or mVrms key to display the
same amplitude as 3,536 Vrms, or press the dBm key to
display the value as (+)23.98 dBm.
3-39. Amplitude Calibration,

cian — SELF TEST
3-40. The 3325A will calibrate the output signal when
the AMPTD CAL key is pressed. The output goes to
less than 4. mV p-p while the calibration is in process. An
“ amplitude and offset calibration is performed auto-
matically whenever the function is switched and at in-
strument turn-on. -
NOTE
If A~-CAL FAIL appears in the display
momentarily after an AMPTD CAL opera-
tion, the instrument should be referred to
qualified service personnel for repair.

3-42. The high voltage output is selected by pressing the
key in the lower right corner of the front panel, This op-
tion provides a maximum output of 40 V p-p into a high
impedance. The load resistance must be greater than 500
ohms or distortion will result, particularly at higher fre-
quencies. To assure square wave overshoot < 5% of
peak-to-peak output, the total capacitance connected to
the output should be < 500 pF, The same entry pro-
cedures and display features apply as in the standard
operation. Maximum and minimum amplitudes are
shown in Table 3-3. Maximum frequency for sine and
square wave functions is 1 MHz (10 kHz for triangle
and ramps).
NOTE
The rear panel signal output is inactive (no
internal signal connection) if the instrument
has the High Voltage Qutpur Option 002 in-
stalled. Instructions are given in the
Operating and Service Manual, Section VIT
Service Group M, for activating the rear
panel signal output in one of two ways: 1)
Placing the standard/high voltage output on
the rear panel only, disconnecting the froni
panel signal output, or 2) Disabling the high
voltage output and enabling the standard
Jront/rear output configuration,

tion is present, the de voltage output may be programmed
from OmV to + 5V, with 4 digit resolution. When no ac
function is present, the DC OFFSET entry prefix is au-
tomatically selected. It is necessary merely to enter the
numerical data followed by the V or mV delimiter. The
rms keys cannot be used to enter offset.
NOTE
When the High Voltage Output is selected
(Option 002), minimum amplitude Jor de

imum is 20.0 V, |
3-45. Offset with AC Function. When dc offset is to be -
added to any ac function, there are minimum and max- …
imum offset limits which must be observed. These limits
are affected by the ac voltage and the resulting at-
tenuator settings, which are shown in Table 3-4. Figure
3-2 1s a set of graphs which show the approximate max-
imum dc offset permissible for a given ac peak-to-peak
voltage, The following equation may be used to deter-
mine maximum offset voltage.

NOTES
1, If an attempt is made to enter a de offset
that is too great for the amplitude already
programmed, “Error 5” will appear in the
display momentarily, and the de offset entry .
will not be accepted.
2. After a dc offset has been entered, if the
amplitude (ac) is then increased beyond the.
level where the amplitude and offset are
compatible, “Error 5” will appear in the
display momentarily, and the ac amplitude
entry will not be accepted.

3. The minimum and maximum permissible
de offset voltages when the High Voltage
Output is selected (Option 002) may be
determined by multiplying the amplitude
and offset values in Table 3-4 by four. This
also applies for Figure 3-2. Change the
above equation (for determining maximum
de offset) to the following:
td
Maximum dc offset = 2 mp.

“deg”” key. For a negative phase shift, press the “—”
key before entering the numerical data. For square wave
frequencies below 25 kHz, phase changes greater than
25° may result in a phase shift + 180% from the desired
amount.
3-48. After entering a phase shift, the new phase may
be assigned the zero phase position, and subsequent
changes in phase referenced to that point. To assign
zero phase, press the blue entry prefix key, then press
ASGN ZERO 8 (PHASE) key.

3-52. Log Sweep. In either single or continuous log sweep
» Mode, the stop frequency must be higher than the start
ÿ frequency, and sweep is up only. (Continuous sweep is
start to stop, start to stop, etc.) The minimum bandwidth
for log sweep is one decade. Single log sweep is a line-
segmented log approximation in one-tenth decade seg-

ments, and continuous log sweep 1s a two-segment log
approximation,
NOTE
Because of rhe computation time required by
the control circuits in log sweep, the actual
stop frequency (which is displayed at the end
of a single sweep) will be higher than the
selected stop frequency, but always within
0.25%. The error decreases as sweep time is
increased.
3-53. Sweep Time. The maximum time per sweep (up or
down) for all sweep modes is 99,99 seconds, with .01
second resolution for times = 1 second, and .001 second
resolution for times <1 second. Minimum times are as
foliows:

3-54. Sweep Bandwidth. The maximum sweep band-
width is the full frequency range for the function
selected, except that in log sweep, the minimum fre-
quency i$ 1 Hz. The minimum bandwidth for log sweep
18 one decade. Minimum bandwidth for each function
(linear sweep) is as follows:
Sine............ (IO mHz/s) X (sweep time)
Square. ......... (5 mHZ/s) Xx (sweep time)
Triangle, ...... (0.5 mHz/s) Xx (sweep time)
Ramps.......... (1 mHz/s) x (sweep time)
For sweep bandwidths of less than 100 times the
minimum, Bandwidth selected should be an integral
multiple of the minimum. In linear sweep mode the
sweep bandwidth may be multiplied or divided by two
by pressing the blue prefix key and then “Afx2” or
“Af.27, These bandwidth modification keys do not
operate in log sweep mode.
3-55. Sweep Marker.
3-56. The marker frequency may be set to any point
within the sweep band up to within approximately 400
microseconds of the stop frequency. If the marker fre-
quency is set beyond this point, the stop frequency will |
automatically be increased so that the marker pulse is

approximately 400 microseconds wide. The following
equation may be used to determine the approximate
maximum marker frequency:
Max. marker freq. = stop freq. -
sweep time
The rear panel MARKER output is ‘at TTL compatibie
voitage levels. Itis High at the start of a sweep up, goes
Low at the selected marker frequency, then High again
at the stop frequency. No marker output is present dur-
ing sweep down or during a log sweep. Set the marker
frequency by pressing the “MER FREQ” key and
entering the numerical data and the frequency suffix.
3-57. The sweep band can be moved up or down to
center on the marker frequency by pressing the blue
prefix key and then the MKR — CF(MKR FREQ) key,
This does not change the sweep bandwidth unless either
the new upper or lower limit would be bevond the fre-
quency limit for the present function.
3-58. Sweep X Drive Output.
3-59. The rear panel X DRIVE output is as follows:
Linear sweep:
Single: 0 V at start, increasing linearly to > + 10 V
at stop, whether the sweep is up or down. Re-
mains at essentially this voltage until reset prior
io the start of another sweep. (Voltage will drift
downward less than 10 mV/s.)
Continuous: Increases linearly from 0 V to
> +10 V during sweep up, then goes to 0 V at
beginning of sweep down and remains at 0 V
during sweep down. . |
Log sweep: Starts at 0 Y and increases to > +10 Y
with the sweep segments.
NOTE
The X DRIVE output has a nominal voltage
of + 10.5 V at the end of a sweep. This final
voltage is specified to be greater than 10.0 V
10 ensure compatibility with oscilloscopes
having a horizontal sensitivity of 10.0 Y for
Jull-screen deflection.
X DRIVE output voltage is linear with time
in both linear and log sweep modes.
3-60. Sweep Z Blank Output. |
3-61. The Z BLANK output voltages are TTL compati-
ble, and the output logic levels are as follows: -
Linear sweep:
Singie: Goes LOW atstart of sweep, HIGH at stop,
whether the sweep is up or down. Remains
until start of next sweep. |
Continuous: LOW during sweep up, HIGH during
sweep down. |
3-10

Model 3325A
Log sweep: Goes LOW at start frequency, HIGH at …
stop. In single sweep, remains HIGH until start off
next sweep. In continuous sweep, is HIGH momen- =
tarily at stop frequency.
When the Z BLANK output is low, it is capable of sink-
ing current through a relay or other device. The max-
imum ratings are:
Maximum current sink: 200 mA
Aliowable voltage range: 0 Y to +43 Y de
Maximum power (voltage at output x current): 1 W
3-62. Amplitude Modulation.
3-63. To program amplitude modulation, press the blue@
prefix key, then press the “AM ON” (STORE) key. To =~
remove the modulation, press the blue key, then “AM
OFF” (RECALL). The display shows “A ON’ or “A
OFF” momentarily to indicate the status of the
amplitude modulation. The status of phase modulation
(P ON or P OFF) is displayed at the same time. The
modulation input must be connected to the rear panel
AMPTD MOD input. The impedance of this input is
20 kQ-(10 kQ when AM is OFF). о
3-64. When amplitude modulation is programmed, the
amplitude of the output signal (with no modulation) is
halved; however, the display still indicates the program-
med amplitude. Then, when the output (carrier) is
modulated 100%, the maximum amplitude of the
modulated output equals the programmed amplitude, A
modulation input of approximately 5 Y peak results in
100% modulation. Modulation frequency may be 0 to
50 kHz. If amplitude modulation is ON when 3325A
functions other than sine wave are selected, the output
may be gated, depending on the level of the modulation
input. Amplitude modulation should be used only with -
the sine wave function, and the modulation input
should not exceed + 10 V peak.
3-65. A dc voltage may be applied to the AMPTD .
MOD input to control the 3325A output level, or a puise |
may be used to gate the output. Approximately +5 ve
cuts off the output signal, while approximately -5 V
doubles the output. (Maximum output is 10 V p-p.) DC
or puise inputs should not exceed +5 V peak.

put impedance is 10 kQ. The modulating signal frequen-
Cy may be de to 5 kHz. An input of +5 V results in the
following approximate phase deviation (+ 170* per volt

3-69. The numerical data of any parameter may be
changed by use of the MODIFY keys. First press the
prefix key of the parameter to be modified, placing the
information in the display. Next, press the I or [>
Key to move the bright digit cursor to the digit you want
to modify, Then pressthe © or © key momentarily
to increase or decrease the value of that digit by !. If the -
- modify key is held, the digit will continue to increment
or decrement after a slight delay. As the modified digit
passes 9 (incrementing) or 0 (decrementing) the digit to
its left will increment or decrement.
3-79. Store and Recall.
3-71. An entire program may be stored in any one of 10
registers by pressing the “STORE 0-9” key, then the
register number. This stores all the information that is
- IN the current program memory. Other programs may
‚then be entered, All stored information is lost when
- power is removed from these circuits by setting the
POWER switch to STBY or disconnecting ac power
from the instrument.
Operation
NOTE
Any phase information stored is invalid when
recalled because the instrument performs an
amplitude calibration on RECALL. Phase
relationship between the output signal and
the reference is not maintained when
AMPTD CAL occurs.
3-72. OPERATOR'S CHECKS.
3-73. The following checks provide the operator with a
means of determining whether the instrument is opera-
tional, They are not intended to verify any specifica-
tions. If the instrument fails any of these checks; it
should be referred to qualified service personnel for
repair.
3-74. Self Test,
3-75. Press the blue prefix key, then SELF TEST
(AMPTD CAL). All the front panel display and annun-
clator LED’s should light for approximately two
seconds, then the instrument performs an automatic
calibration of the sine, square, and triangle functions
and the display indicates momentarily whether each test:
passed or failed, The de offset is also checked in these
tests.
NOTE
If the display reads OSC FAIL at any time,
the frequency synthesis circuits are not func-
tioning properly. Refer the instrument to
qualified service personnel for repair.
3-76. Output Checks,
3-77. An oscilloscope (-hp- 1740A or equivalent} is re-
quired for these checks. Connect the 3325A output
through a 50-ohm feedthru termination {(-hp- 110480)
to the oscilloscope input {input dc coupled), or set the
1740A input switch to 50 ohms.

3-78. OPERATOR'S MAINTENANCE.
3-79. Maintenance by the operator is limited to cleaning
or replacing the rear panel fan filter, or replacing the ac
fine fuse on the rear panel. Generally, if the ac line fuse
requires replacement there is a failure within the instru-
ment, which should be referred to qualified service per-
sonnel. Disconnect the ac line cord before replacing the
fuse. Be sure to use the correct replacement fuse:
Nominal Line Voltage | Fuse | -hp- Part No.

2110-0001
2110-0012
100/120 Vv
220/240 V
3-80, The fan filter should be inspected frequently and
cieaned or replaced as necessary to allow free flow of
alr. To remove the filter, disconnect ac power from the
instrument and remove the four nuts that secure the
filter retainer. Remove the filter and wash thoroughly
‘with soapy water, rinse clean, and air dry,
3-81. HP-IB OPERATION.
3-82. The Model 3325A is remotely controlled by
means of the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (FIP-IB).

Model 3325A
.. The following information gives a general description of
/Æthe HP-IB and defines’ the terms, concepts, and
— messages used in an HP-IB system. It also lists the
capabilities and requirements for programming the
3325A. Program examples using a specific Hewlett-
Packard calculator as the system controller may be
found in the Supplemental Programming Information,
Appendix 3-A at the rear of this section.
NOTE
HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard Company’s
implementation of IEEE Standard 488-1978,
“Standard Digital Interface for Program-
mable Instrumentation.
3-83. General HP-IB Description.
3-84. The HP-IB is a parallel bus of 16 active signal
lines grouped into three sets according to function, to
interconnect up to 15 instruments. Figure 3-3 is a
diagram of the interface connections and bus structure.
—.. 3-85. Fight signal lines form the first set and are termed
- E ‘data’ lines. The data lines carry coded messages which
“ represent addresses, program data, measurements, and
status bytes. The same data lines are used for input and
Operation
output messages in bit-parallel, byte-serial form. Nor-
maily, a seven-bit ASCII code represents each piece
(byte) of data, leaving the eighth bit available for parity
checking.
3-86. Data transfer is controlled by means of an inter-
locked “handshake” technique which permits data
transfer (asynchronously) at the rate of the slowest
device participating in that particular conversation. The
three data byte transfer control lines which implement
the handshake form the second set of lines.
3-87. The remaining five general interface management
lines form the third set and are used in such ways as ac-
tivating all the connected devices at once, clearing the
interface, etc. Table 3-5 defines each of the management
lines,
3-88. Definition of HP-1B Terms and Concepts.

for their status:
Operator - Thé person that operates either the system or
any device in the system.
Address - The characters sent by a controller to speci fy
which device will send information on the bus and
which device(s) will receive information. À device may
also have its address fixed so that it may only receive in-
formation (listen only) or only send information (talk.
oniy). |
Polling - Polling is a means by which a controller can
identify a device that needs interaction with it. The con-
troller may poll devices for their operational condition
one at a time, which is termed a serial poll, or as groups
of devices simultaneously, which is termed a parallel
poll.
3-89. Basic Device Communication Capability.
3-90, Devices which communicate along the interface
bus fall into three basic categories.
Talkers - Devices which send information on the bus
when they have been addressed.
Listeners - Devices
the bus when they have been addressed.
Controllers - Devices that can specify the talker and
listener(s) for an information transfer. The controller
can be an active controlier or a system controller. The
active controller is defined as the current controiling
device on the bus. The system controller can take con-
troi of the bus even if it is not the active controller. Fach
System can have only one system controller, even if
several controllers have system control capability.
3-81. Message Definitions.
3-92. Information is transferred on the HP-IB from
one device to one or more other devices in quantities
3-14
fhich receive information sent on
Model 3325A
called ““messages’’. Some of the messages consist of two
basic parts, the address portion and the information
portion. Others are general messages to all devices.
Messages can be classified into twelve types, which are
referred to as “meta messages”. These are defined in
Table 3-6. A block diagram presentation of meta
messages and their implementation will be found in Ap-
pendix A-3 at the rear of this section.
NOTE
The meta message in itself is not a pro-
gram code or an HP-1B command. It is only
intended as a too! to translate a program writ-
len as an algorithm into the controller's code:
3-93. 3325A Response to Messages.
3-94. The 3325A is capable of implementing only those
messages indicated in Table 3-7, In order for those
messages to be implemented, certain bus actions are re-
quired, which are shown in the Interface Functions col -
umn.
3-85. HP-IB Work Sheet.
3-96. A work sheet is provided at the end of this section
for listing the address and message capabilities of each
instrument in your HP-IB system. When this sheet is
filled out, it will provide a summary of the system
capabilities,
3-37. HP-IB Addressing.
3-98. Certain messages require that a specific talker and
listener be designated. Each instrument on the bus has.
its own distinctive listen and/or talk address which
distinguishes it from other devices. The 33235A receives
programming instructions when. addressed to listen,
When addressed to talk, it will respond to the instruc-
tions it received prior to being addressed to talk. such as
an interrogation or serial poli,
3-99, Addressing usually takes the form of “universal
unlisten, device talk, device(s) listen’’. The universal |
unlisten command removes all listeners from the bus,
allowing only the listener(s) designated oy the device(s)
listen parameter to receive information. The informa-
tion is sent by the talker designated by the device talk
parameter. The system controller may designate itself as
either talker or listener. |

In response to a parallel poll
operation.
The status bit message can also

3-183. Developing an HP-1B Program.
3-104. Basically, the 3325A is programmed remotely in
the same manner as it is programmed manually. The se-
quence in which the various parameters are pro-
grammed is not important. At the end of this section
(ID there is a summary of the HP-IB Programming
Codes. This chart may be removed from the manual
and/or copied to be used as a programming reference.
NOTE
It may be necessary to refer to some para-
graphs on manual operation Jor descriptions
of certain signals and requirements.
3-105. Several steps are needed to develop an HP-IB
program.
a. Completely define the operation(s) the system is
required to perform. |
b. Write the program in flowchart or algorithm
form. (An algorithm may be defined as a fixed step-by-
step procedure for finding a solution to a problem.) Use
the key words for meta messages shown in Table 3-6 in
developing the program, The twelve key words are
repeated here for reference.

All spaces (40 octal), carriage returns {15 octal), com-

NOTE
A program string may program one para-
meter or all parameters. For example, the
string “FUZ2FRIOKHAM3V0” programs the
following:
FU2 = Square wave function
FRIOKH = 10 kHz
AM3VO = 3 К р-р
The EOS character should follow the com-
plete string, or a maximum of 48 characters
(see Paragraphs 3-115 through 3-118).
3-115. Data Transfer Mode,
3-116. The 3325A accepts data from the HP-IB in
either of two modes. If speed of communication is a
critical factor on your HP-IB system, Mode 2 is prefer-
rable. The characteristics of the two modes are:
Data Mode 1. The 3325A turns on in Data
Mode !. In this mode, each device dependent
character (byte) is processed when received.
3-20
3-117. While the 3325A is processing data it will accept
and respond to universal commands. For this reason,
when operating in Mode 2, the controller can send a
program string (48 characters or less) to the 3325A, and
Line feeds and Asterisks (EOS characters)
are ignored. No other device dependent data
communications are permitted on the bus
until the entire 3325A program string has
been accepted and all but the last character
processed.
Data Mode 2. Device dependent characters
are accepted and stored in an internal buffer
and not processed until the EOS character is
received or the buffer is filled (48 bytes). .
Consequently, other communications on the
‘bus are permitted after the program string
has been accepted (at the rate of approx-
imately 150 to 200 microseconds per
character). If the program string contains 48.
characters or more, the 3325A will hold up
the bus while it processes the 48 characters
before accepting and storing the rest of the
string. Because the instrument turns on in

while this data is being processed the controller can
unaddress the 3325A to listen and then communicate
with another device. However, if the string 1s more than
48 characters, the bus will be held up until the first 48
characters have been processed and the remaining
characters accepted. In order for the bus to be used dur-
ing 3325A processing time for communication between
other devices, a program string greater than 48
characters shouid be divided and an EOS character sent
after (or at a convenient place before) the 48th byte, The
remaining program can then constitute a second string,
While the 3325A is processing input information, a
“Busy” flag is set in the status byte (see Paragraph
3-136). This flag can be used to determine when the
3325A has finished processing,

The 3325A will handshake bus communica-

operation of the bus unless il was set to
STBY while addressed to talk. Before it is set
io STBY, make sure it is not addressed to
talk, or else disconnect the HP-IB cable
from the 3325A. The addressed to talk con-
dition can be cleared by an [FC command,
even when the 33254 is in Standby.

Model 3325A
SC = Start Continuous Sweep
TE = Perform Self Test
NOTES
1. The Start Single mnemonic must be sent
twice (8885S). The first SS sets the output
fand display} to the start frequency, and the
second SS starts the sweep.
2. While the 33254 is in Continuous Sweep
mode, if it receives the mnemonics SC, S8,
FR, PH, AC, AP, or TE, it will stop sweep-
ing. It must receive SC again in order to
resume continuous sweeping; or if a single
sweep is to be programmed, SSSS is re-
quired.
3. The “Busy” flag (Dit 7 in the status byte,
see Paragraph 3-138) will be “I” for the
duration of a Self Test operation. After Self
Test, the 3325A returns to the previously
programmed conditions, except that if a
sweep was in progress the sweep will remain
stopped.
3-130. Programming Amplitude Units Conversion,
a 3-131. The programming syntax for converting ampli-
tude units (Yp-p, Vrms, dBm) is:
Mnemonic, Delimiter, EOS
Mnemonic = AM = Amplitude
= The units to which you want to convert:
VO = Vp-p
МУ = тУр-р
VR = Vrms
MR = mVrms
DB = . dBm
Exampie: If amplitude was programmed in Vp-p, it may
be converted to dBm by programming “AMDB”. If
amplitude was the last parameter programmed and is
shown in the display, only the delimiter “DB” needs to
de. programmed. 3
3-132. Programming Storage Registers.
3-133. The data that will be stored includes the current -
program of Entry Parameters, Function (Waveform),
Binary Functions, and Selection Functions. The storage
register functions are:
Store Data in Register N
Recall Data from Register N
Operation
The programming syntax for storage register functions
15; |
‘Mnemonic, Data, EOS
Valid mnemonics:
SR = Store
RE = Recall
Valid data:
0 thru 9 = ASCII numerics specifying register
number
NOTES
1. (7 по data has been stored in a register,
the recall command for that register will be
ignored.
2. An amplitude calibration is performed
when a register is recalled.
3. The numeric value for the phase is stored,
but. the phase of the output is not changed
when the register is recalled. (Phase may
need (0 be reprogrammed.)
4. DCL (Device Clear) and SDC (Selected
Device Clear) commands do not affect the
Storage registers.
3-134. Service Requests.
3-135. The 3325A will set the SRQ line true for any of
the following reasons, if enabled by the SRQ mask (see
Paragraph 3-144):
Program String Error
Sweep Started or Sweep Stopped
System Failure (Possible component problem)
Failed Self Test
Failed Amplitude Calibration
External Reference Unlocked
Main Oscillator Unlocked -
3-136. Serial Poll:
3-137. When the system controller determines that the
SRQ line is true, it may conduct either a Serial Poll or a
Parailel Poll to determine which device(s) initiated the
Service Request, and the reason(s) for the request. The.
3325A responds to a Serial Poll, which is conducted in.
the following manner:
Controller places ATN true (command mode)
Controller sends Serial Poll Enable (SPE) on lines
PIO1-8 (ASCII CAN, binary code x 0011000) ;
бл
1
fd
Las
Operation
Controller sends 3325A Talk address,

Controiler places ATN false (data mode)
3325A responds by sending status byte on DIO1-8
Controller places ATN true (after each device has
been polled)
Controller sends Serial Poll Disable (SPD) on
DIOI!-8 (ASCII EM, binary code x 0011001)
controiler
Serial Poll Disable clears the SRQ message originated by
the 3325A, resetting bits ÿ through 3 and bit 6 in the
status: byte.
NOTE
Some of the above Serial Poll operations are
performed automatically by some con-
[rollers in response fo certain programming
statements. Refer to the programming in-
structions for your particular controller.
3-138. Status Byte.
3-139. A status byte consists of one 8-bit byte on the
HP-IB data lines. A “1” in bit 6 indicates that the
3325A did request service (placed SRO true), anda “9”
in bit 6 indicates that it did not request service. The
- 3325A status byte contains the following information:
76543216 Status byte bits

3-144. Masking or Enabling Service Requests.
3-145. Bits 3 through @ in the status byte can be masked
so that the corresponding conditions will not cause a
service request. However, a 1” will still appear in the
status byte if the condition exists, and can be cleared
only by a serial poll. At instrument turn-on all SRQ con-
ditions are masked. The programming syntax for mask-
ing and enabling SRQ conditions is:

status information byte (8 bits) sent by the device will tell whether that device needed service т
and why. A device will stop requesting service upon being Serial Polled, or if it no longer
needs service. The controller initiates the message by placing the bus into the command
mode, sending the Serial Poll Enable command, and addressing the specific devices to be
polled, one at a time. The device then sends its Status Byte and clears the SRQ line provided
the cause for the require Service message is no longer present. The controller then places the
bus in the command mode to terminate the message with a Serial Poll Disable command.

questing one bit of status from each device simultaneously. The Parallel Poll may consist of ово
three types of operations: Configuring, Polling, and Unconfiguring. In Configuring, the “=

During polling, each device responds on its assigned data line with the appropriate logic В
level. In Unconfiguring, the controller negates the bit and level assignments for all or a

PROGRAMMING THE MODEL 33258
with the
MODEL 98254 CALCULATOR
The following basic examples are provided to assist the operator in developing programs for
the Model 3325A in an HP-IB system which uses the -hp- Model 9825A Calculator as the
system controller. The calculator must be equipped with a General I/0 ROM and an HP-IB
Interface set to select code 7. The calculator (controller) normally holds the REN line true,
unless the “lel 77 (local) command is sent. REN may be returned to the true state by the
“rem 77 (remote) command.
Example 1: This is a basic program statement which accomplishes the following:
Address the controller to talk

Amplitude data acquired by this program does not in-
dicate the units programmed. Frequency is always
returned in Hz and DC Offset in Voits.
This printout results from the above program.
If the calculator is equipped with a String Variable ROM, the interrogate program may be
changed to the following. Because string variables accept both alpha and numeric
characters, the resulting printout includes the mnemonics and delimiters (units).

Example 5: The 3325A can be made to sweep amplitude (in steps) if a for/next statement is
used in the calculator program. It is recommended that the upper and lower amplitude limits
selected be on the same range because irregularities in the sweep will occur if the attenuator
relays are switched,

4-30, HP-iB interface Test.
4-31, The following calculator program tests the opera-
tion of the 3325A HP-IB interface circuits. The pro-
gram is written for an -hp- Model 9825A calculator but
may be adapted for other controllers.
Equipment Required:
-hp- Model 9825A Calculator equipped with:
98034A HP-IB Interface (set to select code 7)
Any combination of ROM's that includes a General
1/0 ROM and an Extended 1/0 ROM
a. Connect the calculator interface cable to the
3325A rear panel HP-IB connector. It is recommended
that no other equipment be connected to this HP-IB
during this test.
b. Enter the program into the calculator.
c. Press RUN. Tests 4 through 7 in this program re-
quire the operator to press CONTINUE if the test
passes, or 1 CONTINUE if the test fails. If the Test 4
question (SRQ LIGHT ON?, 1 = NO) does not appear
in the calculator display within 30 seconds after start of
the program (RUN), the 3325A and calculator are not
interfacing properly. The calculator may display an er-
ror indication that will identify the problem. If not, the
3325A HP-IB circuits are probably not operating cor-
on)
