Safety Notes
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.

not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss
of life. Do not proceed beyond a warning note until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and met.
Caution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if

until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
General Safety
Considerations
WARNING
n
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
I
For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only
with same type and rating (F
5A/25OV).
The use of other fuses or
material is prohibited.
n
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.
n
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by
Hewlett-Packard Co., 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.
n
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
n Before switching on this instrument, make sure that the line
voltage selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and
the correct fuse is installed.
n 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.
n 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
specified range.
w
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a
cabinet, the convection into and out of the instrument must not be
restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be
less than the maximum operating temperature of the instrument
by 4 “C 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.
n This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and
Pollution Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664, respectively.
Note
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.
PREFACE
This manual provides user information for the HP 8360 B-Series
swept signal generator.
Instruments Covered By This Manual
This manual applies to instruments having a serial number prefix
listed on the title page (behind the “Documentation Map” tab).
Some changes may have to be made to this manual so that it
applies directly to each instrument; refer to Chapter 5, “Instrument
History”, to see what changes may apply to your instrument.
A serial number label (Figure O-l) is attached to the instrument’s
rear panel. A prefix (four digits followed by a letter), and a suffix
(five digits unique to each instrument), comprise the instrument
serial number.

Getting Started
What Is In This Chapter
This chapter contains information on how to use the
HP 8360 B-Series swept signal generator. The information is
separated into three sections.
Basic
Advanced
Programming
For the novice user unfamiliar with the
HP 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 how to use the
special features of the HP 8360 B-Series swept signal
generator.
For the user wishing to program an HP 8360 B-Series
swept signal generator. This section contains
an introduction to Standard Commands
for Programmable Instruments language
(SCPI), Hewlett-Packard’s implementation of
IEEE-488.2-1987, and an introduction to the
Analyzer programming language.
Note
If you are unpacking a new swept signal generator, refer to the
installation suggestions provided in Chapter 3, “Installation”.
