ASU to CMU/HRSMU Connection Example
To connect the ASUs, use the following cables.
CMU cable (Agilent N1300A-001/002), 1 ea.
Triax cable (a part of Agilent B5288A-001/002), 2 ea.
D-sub cable (a part of Agilent B5288A-001/002), 2 ea.
One side of the CMU cable forms the attachment used to join and fix it to the CMU. And the other
side provides four BNC connectors used to connect two ASUs as shown.
The triax cable and the D-sub cable are connected between ASU and HRSMU.
Before starting the ASU connection, turn the B1500A off. And restart the B1500A after the
connection is completed. The B1500A cannot recognize the ASUs without restart after the
connection.
