Figure 2-4.Typical HP-IB Interface Connection 2-1 8 INTERFACE CONNECTIONS 2-1 9. Control Interface
2-20. The HP Model 3457A is compatible with the Hewlett-Pachard Interface Bus (HP-IB). Connection is made using an HP-IB interface cable to connect the controller to the appropriate connector o n the rear of the HP 3457A. A typical HP-IB interface system is shown in Figure 2-4. The system shown uses three HP-TB interface cables t o connect the instruments in the system. Each interface connector is both a male and female connector to permit connection to an instrument and another interface cable. As many as 15 instruments can be connected by the same interface bus. However, the r n a x i m ~ ~length of cable used to n~ connect a group of instruments should not exceed the number of instruments times 2 meters (6.56 ft.), o r a maxinlum of 20 meters (65.6 ft.), whichever is less. Refer to Figure 2-5 for a pictorial view of the HP-IB connector and its pin designations.

SECTION IV PERFORMANCE TESTS

4-1. INTRODUCTION
4-2. Section IV contains Performance Tests designed to verify the accuracy of the H P 3457A Milltimeter. Accuracy specifications are listed in Table 1-1 of this manual. This section also contains Operational Verification Tests which provide a more rapid method of testing the operation and accuracy of the unit. The Operational Verification Tests are designed to provide a 90n/o confidence that the HP 3457A is operational and meets specifications. Both the Performance Tests and Operational Verification Tests can be performed without access t o the interior of the instrument.
4-3. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
4-4. Equipment required for the performance tests and operational verification tests are listed in the Recommend Test Equipment table in Section I of this manual. Equipment other than that recommended may be used as long as the critical specifications are met.
4-5. TEST RECORD
4-6. Results of the performance or operational verification tests may be tabulated on the Test Record located a t the end of the respective procedures. The Test Record lists all of the tested specifications and their acceptable limits. It is suggested that the performance tests or operational verification tests be performed and the results tabulated when the instrument is received. These results can be used f o r comparison with periodic calibration results.
4-7. CALIBRATION CYCLE
4-8. This instrument requires periodic performance verification. The frequency at which the instrument should be tested is dependent upon its usage and the environmental operating conditions. T o maintain 24 hour specifications, the instrument should be checked daily; to maintain 90 day specifications, the instrument should be checked at 90 day intervals. It is suggested that the performance test be performed at 90 day intervals f o r normal operation.
4-9. TEST CONSIDERATIONS 4-10. General
4-1 1. Because the HP 3457A is capable of making high accuracy measurements, certain requirements need t o be made. For example, standards being used t o test accuracy should not introduce any significant uncertainties in the performance tests. A standard which is ten times more accurate than the HP 3457A nearly eliminates uncertainties. In most cases, standards with these accuracies are not readily available, therefore, a compromise is necessary. A primary in house standard, one which has been certified by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and can supply the necessary outputs, is recommended. If a primary standard is not available, one of the following may be appropriate:
a. Use a standard which is three or four times more accurate than the HP 3457A specifications t o be tested. Keep in mind, however, the potential uncertainties these standards may introduce. b. Use a highly stable calibrated standard and add the correction factors (usually supplied on the calibration charts) t o the test reading. c. Send the HP 3457A t o an HP Service Center or other NBS-certified standards facility for calibration.
Performance Tests
4-1 2. PERFORMANCE TESTS
T h e Performance Tests are divided into 6 main tests, D C Volts, AC Volts, D C Current, AC Current, Ohms, and Frequency. Each test can be performed independently of the others. T h e steps within each test, however, should be performed in order.

5-10. Calibration Number (CALNUM?)
5-11. The CALNUM? command provides you with a method of monitoring the number of calibrations performed. By using this command, you can determine whether un-authorized calibrations have occurred. The instrument will always respond the CALNUM query command by displaying the number of calibration RAM entries completed since factory initialization. factory initialization. The maximum calibration number which can be stored is 32767. After reaching the maximum number, the counter resets to 0 and begins again. Please note that the calibration number is increased by one for each calibration point. A complete calibration increases the calibration number by several digits. 5-12. The procedure for reading the Calibration Number is as follows:

At this printing, however, the manual (and perhaps change sheets) does apply t o all instruments. Therefore, n o backdating information is included in this section.
7-3. Refer t o Section I f o r information concerning manual coverage according t o instrument serial number.
SECTION Vlll SERVICE

8-1. INTRODUCTION
8-2. This section contains information t o aid in troubleshooting and repair of the HP 3457A Digital Multimeter. Included are safety considerations, theory of operation and troubleshooting procedures.
The information contained in this section is intended for tht7 use o f service trained
personnel who ~rndcrslandcleclronic circuitry and are awarr o f thc hazards invol-
ved. Do not atfempl to perform any o f the procedwes outlined in this section ~rnltw yo11 are qiralificd to do so.
8-3. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

8-4. T h e HP 3457A is designed t o meet international safety standards. T o maintain these standards, the cautions, warnings, and other safety related information contained in this manual must be followed. Servicing of this instrument must be performed by service trained personnel.
Any interruption of thc protecfivc groirnding condlrctor (cithcr inside or outside thc insfrrrmenf)or disconnection of the protrclive earlh terminal will likely make /he instrlrmcnt dangerolrs. Intrntional interruption o f the protective grolrnding conductor is srriclly prohibiled. The service information contained in this section normally requires removal o f the protective covers and applicalion o f power. Voltugc~sor signals at many poinls within the instr~rmentmay, i f contacted, restrli in personal injirry. 8-5. T o protect personnel and prevent damage t o the instrument, adjustment or repair with covers removed and power applied must be avoided as much as possible. When it becomes necessary t o service the instrument under these conditions, the work must be performed by a skilled person who is aware of the hazards involved.
8-6. Be aware that it is possible f o r capacitors inside the instrument t o remain charged when the instrument is turned off o r when the power source has been disconnected. 8-7. Be certain that only the recommended fuse type (fast blow, correct current rating, etc.) is used f o r replacement. The use of repaired fuses o r short circuiting the fuse holder is prohibited.

8-8. STATIC HANDLING
8-9. Static electricity is a familiar phenomenon which, except for an occasional shock, doesn't seem very serious. It has been proven in the electronics industry, however, that electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major cause of component failure. In many cases, the component damaged may not fail immediately but cause poor instrument reliability and additional repairs at a later date. ESD damage can occur at static levels too low for human perception. It has been shown that ESD can affect both active and passive devices. 8-10. Any assembly removed from the instrument MUST be handled in accordance with anti-static handling procedures. This includes the optional plug-in assemblies. 8-1 1. The following guidelines are the minimum requirements for a static-safe service environment: The work bench must be equipped with a conductive table mat. The mat should be connected t o earth ground through a 1 megohm resistor. The mat must be equipped with at least one connection for connecting wrist straps. All persons who handle and service the instrument must wear a conductive wrist strap in contact with bare skin. This wrist strap must be connected t o the conductive table mat. All metal equipment at the work station must be grounded t o earth ground. This includes soldering irons, de-soldering tools, shelving, and equipment stands. Only one common ground can be provided at a work station. The work station must be kept free of non-conductive items such as, common plastics, polybags, cardboard, cigarette or candy wrappers. There must be no rugs or carpet on the floor, shelving, or bench top. Proper containers must be used for shipping, storing and transporting assemblies.
8-12. RECOMMENDED TEST EQUIPMENT
8-13. Equipment t o test and repair the H P 345714 is listed in Section I (Table 1-3) of this manual.
8-14. THEORY OF OPERATION
8-15. Introduction
8-16. The following paragraphs provide a simplified explanation of the HP 3457A circuit operation. Refer t o the simplified block diagram in Figure 8-1 for the following description. 8-17. The HP 3457A can be divided into two basic sections; the Chassis Common circuitry and the Floating (isolated) Common circuitry. The chassis common circuitry provides instrument control and communication with other instruments, through the HP-IB, or the user through the front panel keyboard and display. The floating common circuitry is responsible f o r converting the analog input signals t o digital information. The two sections communicate with each other through the isolation logic circuitry.
8-18. Chassis Common Section
8-19. The Chassis Common section consists of digital circuits and associated power supplies. The main circuits are the Master Processor, HP-IB Interface, Front Panel Interface (keyboard and display) and the Chassis Common Isolation Logic.
Service
8-20. The Master Processor controls the HP 3457A's measurement process, communicates with the Front Panel and HP-IB interface, applies measurenlent corrections and performs math calculations. The Master Processor circuitry consists of a micro-processor, program ROMs, storage RAMS and associated digital circuitry. 8-21. The HP-IS Interface circuitry provides communication between the master processor and other instruments connected t o the interface bus. The HP 3457A master processor receives HP-IB commands (Remote, Listen, etc.) and control information (DCV, ACV, etc.) and sends measurement data through the HP-IB interface circuitry.
HP-IB is Hewlell-Packard's implcmcntalion o f I E E E Slandard 488-1978, "Standard Digifal Infcrfacc /or Programmahlc In~trirmcnlalion"and A N S I MC 1.1.
8-22. The Front Panel interface circuitry provides communication between the User and the Master Processor. The processor receives control information through the front panel keyboard and returns measurement information through the front panel display.
8-23. Floating Common Section
8-24. The Floating Common section consists of Input Switching circuitry, an Input Amplifier, Ohms Current Source, AC t o DC Convertor, Analog T o Digital Convertor, Voltage Reference, Slave Processor, and Floating Common Isolation Logic. 8-25. The Input Switching section is responsible for routing the input signal t o the proper measurement circuitry and connecting the Ohms Current Source when making resistance measurements. The input switching is also used during Auto-Cal and Self Test procedures t o route stimulus and measurement signals. 8-26. The Input Amplifier scales the input signal to maintain a limited voltage range t o the input of the Analog t o Digital Convertor circuitry. The amplifier also provides isolatio~i between the device being measured and the HP 3457A measurement circuitry. 8-27. The Ohms Current Source supplies a known current through resistors being measured t o provide a proportional voltage which can be measured by the HP 3457A. The current source is also used as a stimulus during the Self Test routine. 8-28. The AC t o DC Convertor is a computing true rms convertor which converts AC input signals between 20 Hz and 1 MHz t o an equivalent DC voltage for measurement by the H P 3457A. 8-29. The Analog t o Digital Convertor uses a multi-slope conversion process t o convert the analog measurement data t o digital information. 8-30. The Voltage Reference circuit, as the name implies, provides a stable voltage t o the Analog t o Digital Convertor and the Ohms Current Source for measurement reference. 8-31. The Slave Processor controls the measurement process. Function and range information received from the Master Processor is used t o control the input switching and A/D convertor t o make the required measurement. Measurement results are transferred from the slave processor t o the master processor through the isolation circuitry.

8-32. SELF TEST DESCRIPTION
8-33. Power ON Sequence

8-34. When the HP 3457A is "turned-on", it automatically performs a self-test t o check the logic of both the chassis common and floating common sections of the instrument. The areas tested are: the master processor, (A1 assembly), the slave processor (A2 assembly) and the isolation logic circuitry between the t w o assemblies. This test verifies that the instrument is capable of operating. It does not test the measurement accuracy of the instrument.
3457A
Service
8-35. Upon satisfactory completion of the power-on test routine, the instrument momentarily displays the HP-IB address it is currently set t o (The address is set t o decimal 22 at the factory), emits a single "beep" and sets itself t o the predefined power-on state. The front panel indications of this state are; the DC Voltage function, Auto-Range and automatic trigger are selected. For a complete list of power-on conditions, refer t o Section 111, Table 3-1 of this manual.
8-36. Self Test
8-37. The TEST routine performs an extensive test of the HP 3457A's measurement capability and accuracy. The tests performed are active tests, that is, a stimulus is applied and the results are checked against predefined limits. The TEST routine tests the integrator convergence, input amplifier and switching offset, ohms current source, input divider, input amplifier gain selection, amps circuit, ac/dc convertor offset and frequency response, and ohms precharge circuit. 8-38. Satisfactory completion of the self test routine is indicated by a display message of SELF TEST OK. If an error is detected, the display message will be TEST FAILED and the error annunciator will flash. When an error occurs, bit 0 in the ERROR register is set and information indicating the specific test@) that failed is stored in the AUXERR register.
8-40. Introduction
8-41. The following procedures employ the Self Test capabilities of the HP 3457A. In most cases, this will be sufficient t o determine which of the two sections (A1 Chassis Common Section or A2/A3 Floating Common Section) is at fault.
This in.s/rlrment contains infcgratcd circuits which arc sirsccptihlc to faillrrc drrc to static discharge. I f is especially important that grorrnded tools and wrist straps be rised when handling or tror~hleshooting thesc components.
8-42. A1 Assembly Failure Indications
8-43. If the front panel display remains blank or contains some unintelligible message and appears t o be "locked-up" after the instrument is "turned-on," the fault is most probably located on the A1 assembly (03457-66501). If the display is blank, the power cord, fuse, and line select switches should be checked t o be certain the instrument is receiving power. Connectors Al-J501, Al-J701 and Al-702 should be checked t o be sure they properly and securely connected. 8-44. If the instrument works properly from the front panel but fails t o communicate over the HP-IB, the problem is due t o a faulty A1 assembly. Be certain that the interface cable is good and that it is securely connected between the HP 3457A and the controller when testing HP-IB communications. 8-45. If the display reads FAILED after the instrument is "turned-on," the fault is due t o either a slave processor failure or an isolation logic circuit failure. Since the isolation logic circuit is located on both the A1 and A2 assemblies, the fault can not be isolated t o one assembly.
Service
8-46. A2/A3 Assembly Failure Indications 8-47. Failures in the floating common section of the instrument (A2/A3 assemblies) can be detected by running the TEST routine. A failure detected by the test routine will be indicated by a display of TEST FAILED and the error annunciator flashing. Not all errors require replacement of the A2/A3 assemblies t o correct the problem. The test routine detects calibration errors as well as hardware errors.
8-48. T o determine what failure occurred during the test, read the ERROR register (Press the ~ l u S H I F T key e The error message should read HARDWARE ERROR. Other messages d o not indicate a circuit failure. If the error annunciator is still flashing, read the other messages t o clear the register. Read the AUXERR? register. (Preps the Blue S H I F T key then the NPLC / A co~ifigurutionkey. Use the scroll key to display the A UXERR? comnlund urid press the ENT key). The display will show AUXERR?: and an error code number. The following is a complete list of the AUXERR? codes:
then the ERROR key).
ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION
Isolation error durlng operatlon in any mode (self-test, auto-cal, measurements, etc.) Slave processor self test failure Isolation self-test failure Integrator convergence error Front end zero measurement error Current source, gain selection, Input dlvlder error Amps self-test fallure AC ampllfler DC offset test fallure AC flatness test error Ohms precharge fallure durlng auto-cat 32k ROM checksum failure 8k ROM checksum fallure Non-volatlle RAM fallure Volatlle RAM failure Callbratlon RAM protection fallure
The error codes which apply t o the TEST routine are numbered I6 through 512. If more than one test fails the error codes will be summed together. As an example: If the front end zero measurement test and the AC flatness test failed, the error code displayed would be 272 (256 + 16).
8-49. Front end zero measurement errors (error code 16) and AC flatness test errors (error code 256) can often be remedied by calibration. Refer t o Section V for the appropriate procedures. Error codes 8, 32, 64, 128, and 512 normally indicate a component failure.
8-50. Replacement Procedures
8-51. Procedures for the removal and replacement of the PC assemblies are contained in Section V1 of this manual. Please observe clean handling techniques and anti-static procedures when handling the PC assemblies.
