Making Measurements

The rest of this chapter explains the steps required to make a
measurement.

Step 1. Consider Measurement Limitations

Before connecting a signal and making a measurement, please consider
the following measurement limitations:
The front-panel OPTICAL INPUT connector uses a single-mode input fiber.
+10 dBm is the maximum total displayed input power. Do not
exceed +18 dBm source power. The Agilent 86122A's input circuitry
can be damaged when total input power exceeds this level.
