RSA3408B Analyzer Service Manual
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep
those instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conven-
tions:
H
Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial
capital) in the manual as is used on the analyzer front panel and menus;
for example, Span, Trig, and Select.
H
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the
analyzer is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an
assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a resistor or an
integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module; for example, the
chassis of the analyzer is a module.
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary near the
beginning of this manual.
