Service Equipment You Will Need
Required Test Equipment List
The following table identifies the equipment recommended for
troubleshooting, adjusting, and verifying the performance of the
instrument. Only the recommended and alternate equipment is
compatible with the performance verification testing. Some tests can
use various models of a particular equipment type. The “Recommended
Agilent Model” is the preferred equipment. However, the “Alternative
Agilent Model” is an acceptable substitute.
