Installation and Setup
Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time
Information Screen
An information screen appears during the initialization process. The information screen contains the
analyzer product number and a URL for accessing product support information on the World Wide
Web. See “Additional Information” on page 2.
NOTE The information screen displays for approximately 10 seconds before the initialization
process is complete.
Record the firmware revision and serial number, and keep it for reference. If you should
ever need to call Agilent Technologies for service or with any questions regarding your
analyzer, it will be helpful to have this information readily available. You can also obtain
the firmware revision and serial number by pressing System, More, Show System.
o Allow the analyzer to warm-up for 5 minutes before making a calibrated measurement. To meet its
specifications, the analyzer must meet operating temperature conditions.
If the analyzer is an Agilent Technologies E7402A, E7403A, E7404A, or E7405A, connect a BNC
cable from the AMPTD REF OUT to INPUT 50 Ω using an adapter. After a 5 minute warm-up, press
System, Alignments, Align Now, All.
CAUTION When operating in dc coupled mode on analyzers with Option UKB ensure protection of
the input mixer by limiting the input level to 0 Vdc, +30 dBm.
When operating in ac coupled mode, ensure protection of the input mixer by limiting the
input level to 50 Vdc, +30 dBm.
NOTE It is normal to hear clicking when the Auto Alignment function is on. See “Running
Internal Alignments” on page 17 for more information.
