    HP 83480A Digital Communications Analyzer. These modules recover clock and data information at standard telecom and datacom rates. The resulting trigger signal is made available to the HP 83480A mainframe via a connector located on the module’s rear-panel. An external front-panel cable passes the data signal, with some insertion loss, to the receiver module.
  • Page 17 What you won’t find on these modules . . . Unlike other modules designed to be used with the HP 83480A digital communications analyzer, the HP 83491/2/3A modules do not include Channel keys or menus. Also, there are no GPIB programming commands for these modules.

    Reference Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements Today, advances in measurement capabilities make connectors and connec- tion techniques more important than ever. Damage to the connectors on cali- bration and verification devices, test ports, cables, and other devices can degrade measurement accuracy and damage instruments.
  • Page 45 When tighter alignment is required, HP instru- ments typically use a connector such as the Diamond HMS-10, which has con- centric tolerances within a few tenths of a micron. HP then uses a special universal adapter, which allows other cable types to mate with this precision connector.

The soft material is easily damaged. Care must be taken to mini- mize excessive scratching and wear. While minor wear is not a problem if the glass face is not affected, scratches or grit can cause the glass fiber to move out of alignment.
