Installation Installation Figure 1-3. The adapter cable CAUTION Agilent 83491A Modules: Maximum safe signal input level is ±5V. The input circuits can also be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before 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

Installation Installation To connect cables to an Agilent 83492A On Agilent 83492A modules, the front-panel fiber-optic connectors reverse input and output roles depending on the wavelength of the signal. Signals in the 750 nm to 860 nm wavelength range are input to the left connector and output from the right connector. Signals in the 1000 nm to 1600 nm wave- length range are input to the right connector and output from the left connec- tor. Figure 1-5. Input and output connections versus w

Operation Agilent 83491/2/3A Modules—At a Glance Agilent 83491/2/3A Modules—At a Glance The Agilent 83491/2/3A are designed to operate in an Agilent 83480A digital communications analyzer. These modules recover clock and data information at standard telecom and datacom rates. The resulting trigger signal is made available to the Agilent 83480A mainframe via a connector located on the module’s rear-panel. An external front-panel cable passes the data signal, with some insertion loss, to the

Operation Agilent 83491/2/3A Modules—At a Glance WARNING Light energy can radiate from the front panel OUTPUT connectors on Agilent 83492A and 83493A modules. The light emitted from these connectors is the slightly attenuated light that is input to the front- panel INPUT connector. Use with Agilent 71603B or 71612B Error Performance Analyzers The front-panel Data and Clock outputs provide electrical recovered clock and regenerated data signals for simultaneous testing with other instruments,

Operation Front-Panel Features Green and red data-rate lights The data-rate indicator lights change color between red and green to show which data rate is selected. A red light does not indicate a problem. A red light shows that the adja- cent red data rate label is selected. A green light shows that the adjacent green data rate label is selected. Repeatedly pressing the SELECT key cycles through the selections in one color before switching to the opposite color. On Agilent 83491A modules for

Operation Front-Panel Features Multimode and single-mode connections Agilent 83492A modules use multimode fiber. Connecting the output to the Optical INPUT connector on Agilent 83481/2/5 single-mode modules results in large reflections and insertion loss. Agilent 83493A modules use 9/125 µ m single-mode fiber. Connecting multimode fiber to the Optical Input connector results in large reflections and insertion loss. Recovered Clock The recovered clock signal is routed directly to the Agilent 8
