Title: HP 3577A which softkey runs confidence tests?
Post by: DrNefario on July 31, 2021, 07:43:45 pm

I am trying to run the confidence test on my 3577A without a display readout via GPIB.  I can get plots just fine and have swept a filter, but am trying to follow the manual to run confidence tests.  It says "Press the SPCL FCTN key , then the CONF TEST soft key", but I don't know which one that is.  Can somebody please tell me which key that is starting from the top as #1 ?
Note : There are 8 soft keys total.

Here is the filter sweep just FYI:

Key #3.

Look at the Operations Manual.  A lot of the menu trees are shown there (e.g., page 4-30).

Thanks, I had an older copy of the operations manual with about half the number of pages which did not include the soft key screen "Special Functions" pictures.  I found a later copy which did have the pictures and will try that as soon as I am able.
