Getting Started
Setting Up the Agilent 83433A
Step 5. Avoid costly repairs
CAUTION
Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty or
damaged cables and accessories. The front-panel connectors of the
Agilent 83433A are no exception. When you use improper cleaning and
handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument repairs, damaged cables,
and compromised measurements. Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to
the Agilent 83433A, refer to “Cleaning Connections for Accurate
Measurements” on page 3-6.
CAUTION
For proper operation without an external laser, connect the supplied optical
jumper cable between the EXTERNAL LASER INPUT and the CLASS IIIB
INTERNAL LASER OUT. Be sure to position the LASER ENABLE key in the off
position before making any connection. Agilent recommends the use of Panda
PMF fiber with the EXTERNAL LASER INPUT.
