General Information
Introduction
Use this guide to unpack, connect instruments (if needed), power on,
configure, test, and power off your Agilent E5505A Phase Noise
Measurement System. For all system models, start with the information in
this chapter—especially the unpacking guidelines starting on
page 10 .
If you’ve ordered a racked system , it arrives as a turnkey solution—ready
to power on with all hardware and software installed. If you’ve ordered a
flat- panel display, procedures for mounting it are in
Chapter 2 . Follow the
powering on procedures in Chapter 4 and you’re ready to make your first
measurement.
A benchtop system arrives with all hardware and software installed, but
you must connect the instruments with the appropriate cables. You’ll find
instrument connection diagrams in
Chapter 3 . (Agilent ships the needed
cables with the system.) Then proceed to Chapter 4 to power on your
system and make your first measurement.
Use Table 1 as a guide to the chapters to use for your model:
• Racked system
• Benchtop system

If you need to re-install the phase noise hardware and software in the E5505A system PC
