Getting Started
The instructions in this chapter show you how to install your Agilent 83400-
series source or receiver module. Because these products are key accessories
for the Agilent 8702-series lightwave component analyzers, this book empha-
sizes installation into the Agilent 8702D.
Calibration data describes each device
Four procedures are provided in this chapter for loading source or receiver
calibration data into an Agilent 8702-series lightwave component analyzer.
Select the appropriate procedure depending upon your situation.
Each source and receiver module comes with its own calibration data that
describes its magnitude and phase modulation response. Because no two
sources or receivers are exactly alike, the calibration data should not be used
with any other source or receiver. The calibration data is provided in three
forms:
• Coefficients printed on a label.
• Data on a DOS-formatted disk.
• Data on a LIF-formatted disk.
For more information about the calibration data,
refer to "Calibration Data In-
formation" on page
2-7.
Some notes on safety and care
Be sure to read the safety and introductory material in the front of this book
before operating your Agilent 83400-series source or receiver module. Refer
to
Chapter 3, "Specifications and Regulatory Information"
for information on
operating conditions, such as temperature.
If you should ever need to clean the cabinet, use a damp cloth only.
