terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord set.
1-14. SAFETY SYMBOLS
CAUTION
The symbol
panel of the instrument, indicates that the user should refer to
the instruction manual before operating in order to avoid
possible damage to the instrument. Within the manual, information relating to the ATTENTION symbol will be identified with
a A symbol in the margin.
A (ATTENTION), which appears on the front
I-15. The following safety symbols are used on equipment and in manuals:
Instruction manual symbol. The product will be marked with this
symbol when it is necessary for the user to refer to the instruction
manual in order to protect against damage to the instrument.
Indicates dangerous voltage (terminal$ fed from internal or external
source by voltage exceeding 1000 volts must be so marked).
Protective conductor terminal. For protection against electrical shock
in case of a fault. Used with field wiring terminals to indicate the
terminals which must be connected to ground before operating
equipment.
low-noise or noiseless, clear ground (earth) terminal. Used for a
signal common, as well as providing protection against electrical
shock in case of a fault. A terminal marked with the symbol must be
connected to ground in the manner described in the installation
ioperating) manual, and before operating the equipment.
Frame and chassis terminal. A connection to the frame (chassis) of the
equipment which normally includes all exposed metal structuresAlternating current.
Direct current.
Alternating or direct current.
The WARNING signal denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING
sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood
and met.
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention toan operating
procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or ail of
the product. Do nor proceed beyond a
CAUTlON
sign until the
indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or
outside the instrument) or disconnecting the protectiveearth terminal
will cause a potential shock that could result in personal injury.
(Grounding one conductor or a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient
protection.)
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the
instrument tnust be made inoperative and be secured against any
unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for
voltage reduction) make sure the common terminal is connected to
the neutral (earth pole) of the power source.

Servicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel only.
To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any servicing
unless qualified to do so.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power
supplied to the instrument while ‘protective covers are removed.
Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal
injury.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the
instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply.
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse
only with 250V fuse of the same current rating and type (for example,
normal blow, time delay, etc.). Do not use repaired fuses or short
circuited fuseholders.
1-16. lNSTRUMENT AND MANUAL IDENTIFICATION
1.17. The instrument serial number is located on the heat sink next to the power input module
on the rear panel of the instrument. Hewlett-Packard instruments have a IO-character serial
number in the form: 0000A00000. The first four digits and the letter are the serial prefix. The last
five digits are the suffix. The prefix is the same for all identical instruments; the prefix ischanged
only to identify changes to the instrument. The suffix is assigned sequentially and is different for
each instrument. The contents of this manual applies to instruments with the serial number
prefix(e$) listed under SERIAL PREFIX on the title page.

I-18. An instrument manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a serial number
prefix that is higher than the prefix(er1 listed on the title page. If the serial prefix of your instru-
ment differs from that listed on the title page of this manual, there are differences between the
instruments described in this manual and your instrument. Instruments having a higher serial
prefix are covered by yellow Manual Changes sheets included with the manual. The Manual
Changes sheet contains information that explains how to adapt the manual to newer instruments.
If the change sheet is missing, contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard Salesand Service Office listed
at the back of this manual.
I-19. In addition to change information, Manual Changes may contain information for cor-
recting errors in the manual, To keep this manual as current and accurate as possible, HewlettPackard recommends that you periodically request the latest Manual Changes sheetis). The
change sheet for this manual is identified by the manual print date and manual part number,
printed on the title page of the manual. Complimentary copies of the change sheet areavailable
from Hewlett-Packard.

l-22. The HP5334A isaUniveriaICounter(:apableof mcasuringsignalsupto100MHz. Withthe
Optional C Channel this capability is extended to 1.3 GHz. The instrument’s basic measurement
functions ,include Frequency, Period, ‘Time, Time Delay, Ratio, and Totalize. The resident
Multiple Register Counter IMRCI and three single chip microprocessors used to generate data,
compute and display answers, expand the usefulness of the counter by providing post
measurcmcnt data manipulation. This allows the additional power and convenience of userdefined ~measurement function keys for Math Functions, Pulse Width, Rise/Fall Time, and
voltage peaks of
to save and recall up to nine different front panel set-ups.
l-23. The HP 5334A front-end provides two independent input channels, featuring matched
high perfvrmancc 100 MHz input amplifiers. Each input channel includes a full complement of
input signal conditioning controls, in addition to extensive triggering and arming control. Most
rneasurernents are displayed in engineering notation. Analog interpolation provides 9 digits of
resolution in one-second of gate time. Gate timesare keyboard-selectable from 1 millisecond to
1000 seconds in millisecond increments.
