Performance Tests
The Mainframes 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B do not contain
calibration data, therefore they are not subject to re-calibration.
Consequently, these Performance Tests test the functionality of the
instrument.
The Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter, the Agilent 8164A/B
Lightwave Measurement System, and the Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave
Multichannel System comprises a power supply, a CPU, a hard-disk drive,
and a display. The Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System also
has a floppy-disk drive.
The complete characteristics to which the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave
Multimeter, the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System, or the
Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel System is tested are given in
“Specifications and Regulations Compliance” on page 335. All tests can be
performed without access to the interior of the instrument. The
performance tests refer specifically to tests using the Diamond HMS-
10/Agilent connector.
