Introduction
The Hewlett-Packard 3562A Dynamic Sig nal Analyzer represents a new standard
i n accu racy and versatility for dual-channel FFT analyzers. A full com plement of
measurement and analysis capabilities com bined with outstanding specifications
make the HP 3562A an invaluable tool for the test, analysis and desig n of
dc-to-100 kHz electronic, electra-mechanical and mechanical systems.
This Product N ote is an operator's i ntroduction to the HP 3562A Dynamic Sig nal
Analyzer. As an i ntroduction. this note will explai n the basic concepts and operation
of the analyzer: detailed explanations are left to the HP 3562A Operating Manual.
The body of the text is based on bu ilt-in Preset states and is desig ned to help you
start making measurements qu ickly.
