nel. Use the amplitude offset knob to position the displayed signal. You can
also set the amplitude scale and offset to specific values by touching of chan-
nel buttons shown to at the bottom of the display.
CAUTION Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input connectors. Prior to
connecting any coaxial cable to the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer
conductors of the cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly earth-grounded
to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heel-strap.
CAUTION Optical channel fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty or
damaged cables and accessories. 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 digital communications analyzer, refer to
“Connector Care” on page 1-36.
NOTE In addition to a complete line of modules designed specifically for this
instrument, modules designed for use with Agilent 83480A and 54750A
mainframes (8348x and 5475x series) can also be installed into the Infiniium
DCA. (The 83495A and 83495B clock recovery modules are the exception to
this numbering scheme and were designed specifically for use with 86100-
series mainframes.) The 8348x and 5475x series plug-in modules are equipped
with a trigger input on the individual module front panels. Repeatedly press the
Infiniium DCA’s front-panel Trigger Source button until the label for the
desired trigger source is lit.
