C A U T I O N The input circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Therefore, avoid applying static discharges to the front-panel input connectors.
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 buildup of
static charge. Refer to
“Electrostatic Discharge Information” on page 5-12 .
At the top of the plug-in module are the
Channel
keys. These keys give you
access to the Channel Setup menu for each input. The Channel Setup menu is
displayed on the right side of the screen when the
Channel
key is pressed.
There are several types of softkeys available. A description of the different
softkeys and their functions is provided in the
HP 83480A, 54750A User’s
Quick Start Guide supplied with the mainframe.
NOTE
The plug-in module has both an electrical channel and an optical channel. Although
many of the softkeys are similar, some differences exist. Examples in this book using the
optical channel will note when the user would see differences if using the electrical
channel.
