74 Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition
Test Record
Results of the performance test may be tabulated on the Test Record
provided at the end of the test procedures. It is recommended that you fill
out the Test Record and refer to it while executing the test. Since the test
limits and setup information are printed on the Test Record for easy
reference, the record can also be used as an abbreviated test procedure (if
you are already familiar with the test procedure). The Test Record can also
be used as a permanent record and may be reproduced without written
permission from Agilent Technologies.
Test Failure
Always ensure that you use the correct cables and adapters, and that all
connectors are undamaged and extremely clean.
If an Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family module fails any
performance test, return it to the nearest Agilent Technologies
Sales/Service Office for repair.
Instrument Specification
Specifications are the performance characteristics of the instrument that
are certified. These specifications, listed in “Agilent 81600B Family
Tunable Laser Source Module Specifications” on page 51 are the
performance standards or limits against which an Agilent 81600B Tunable
Laser Source Family module can be tested.
The specifications also list some “Supplementary Performance
Characteristics” of the Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family on
page 68. Supplementary Performance Characteristics should be regarded
as additional information.
Any changes to the specification due to manufacturing changes, design, or
tracebility to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
will be covered in a manual change supplement, or revised manual. Such
specifications supercede any that were previously published.
