Performance Tests

Test Record

Results of the Performance Test may be tabulated in the Test Record
provided after the test procedures. It is recommended that you fill out
the Test Record and refer to it while doing the test. Since the test
limits and set-up information are printed on the Test Record for easy
reference, the record can also be used as an abbreviated test
procedure (if you are familiar with test procedures). The Test Record
can also be used as a permanent record and may be reproduced
without written permission from Agilent Technologies.

Test Failure

If the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter, the Agilent 8164A/B
Lightwave Measurement System, or the Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave
Multichannel System fail any Performance Test, return the instrument
to the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Office for repair.
