Quick Setup Process

Agilent 86038B Photonic Dispersion and Loss Analyzer, Second Edition
For your convenience, a quick setup feature has been included
on the PDLA. The Quick Setup key accesses a series of control
panels that help you specify the basic settings needed for
making a measurement. A measurement time estimation is
provided so that you can trade off measurement time versus the
measurement settings.
The following procedure outlines the steps to make a precisely
defined measurement.
For experienced users, a detailed process can be used which
provides more flexibility than the Quick Setup procedure. Refer
to "Flexible Measurement Process" on page
To get the most performance out of your PDLA, it is
recommended that you read
Concepts", Chapter 3, "Making
"Function Reference". These three chapters cover the linkages
between the different measurement that can be made, specific
devices being measured, and the setup parameters used to make
the measurements.
