WARNING
CAUTION
The following safety notes are used throughout this manual.
Familiarize yourself with each of the notes and its meaning before
operating this instrument.
Warning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure which, if

General Safety
Considerations
WARNING
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not removecovers.
For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only
with same type and rating (F 5A/250V). The use of other fuses or
material is prohibited.
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by Agilent
Technologies, the protection provided by the instrument may be
impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition (in which
all means for protection are intact) only.
Position the instrument according to the enclosure protection
provided. This instrument does not protect against the ingress of
water. This instrument protects against finger access to hazardous
parts within the enclosure.
v
CAUTION
Before switching on this instrument, make sure that the line
voltage selector switch is set to the voltage of the p ower supply and
the correct fuse is installed.
Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this
instrument. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not
using this cord may cause instrument damage.
Before switching on this product, make sure that the line voltage
selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and
the correct fuse is installed. Assure the supply voltage is in the
specied range.
Note
Ventilation Requirements:
cabinet, the convection into and out of the instrumentmust not b e
restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be
less than the maximum op erating temperature of the instrument
by4C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the total
power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then
forced convection must be used.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category I I and
Pollution Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664, respectiv
The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device.
It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other
parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby
switch and is not a LINE switch.

What Is In This
Chapter
Note
This chapter contains information on how to use the Agilent
8360 B-Series swept signal generator. The information is separated
into three sections.
Basic
Advanced
Programming
If you are unpacking a new swept signal generator, refer to the
installation suggestions provided in Chapter 3, \Installation".
For the novice user unfamiliar with the 8360 B-Series
swept signal generator. This section describes the
basic features of the swept signal generator.
For the user familiar with swept signal generators,
but not necessarily familiar with ho
special features of the 8360 B-Series swept signal
generator.
For the user wishing to program an 8360 B-Series
swept signal generator. This section contains
an introduction to Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments language (SCPI), Agilent
Technologies' implementation of IEEE-488.2-1987,
and an intro duction to the Analyzer programming
language.
