4-13. Procedure
a. Connect the Hp 5517B to either the Hp 5501A or HP 5527A system (or any suitable dual DC voltage power
supply such as the HP 6255A) using HP 10791A/B/C or HP 10793A/B/C cable.
b. On the 5517B, set the exit shutter of the turret assembly to its open aperture position.
c. Turn the ±15 Volt power supply on and wait until the READY indicator is on, not blinking. This should occur
less than 10 minutes after power is applied.
d. Using the Laser Power Meter, align the power meter detector for maximum reading.

LASER BEAM MUST FALL TOTALLY WITHIN THE ACTIVE REGION OF
THE POWER METER'S DETECTOR.
g. If the laser power output is less than 180 microwatts, perform the laser tube current measurement
procedure in Section V.
