Performance Tests
338 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B User’s Guide, Fourth Edition
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 315.
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.
