Before this instrument is switchedon

, make sure it has been properly

grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a

socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or

outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protectiveearth

terminal can result in personal injury.

There are many points in the instrument which can, if contacted, cause

personal injury. Be extremely careful.

Any adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the

instrument with protectivecovers removed should be performed only

by trained service personnel.

Microwave

Transition

Analyzer - At A Glance

This quick start guide contains two tutorials that introduce you to

the microwave transition analyzer. You'll need ab out 20 minutes to

complete the steps. After completing the tutorial, refer to the

71500A and HP 70820A User's Guide

for a complete discussion of

HP

product features.

Why are there two tutorials

For optimum performance as a stimulus-response test system,

your microwave transition analyzer is designed to control a signal

source. This is referred to as a congured system. Operation in an

uncongured system oers additional measurement capability.

Tutorial 1 shows op eration of a congured system.

Tutorial 2 shows op eration of an uncongured system.

If your system is congured, you can also perform tutorial 2.

Refer to the

HP 71500A Series Instal lation and Verication

information on installing and conguring your instrument.
