The Agilent 86120C—At a Glance
In addition to these measurements, a “power bar” is displayed that
shows power changes like a traditional analog meter. You can see the
power bar shown in the following figure of the Agilent 86120C’s dis-
play.
CAUTION The input circuitry of the Agilent 86120C can be damaged when total input
power levels exceed +18 dBm. To prevent input damage, this specified level
must not be exceeded.
Print measurement results
You can get hardcopy results of your measurements by connecting a
printer to the rear-panel PARALLEL PRINTER PORT connector.
Program the instrument for automatic measurements
The Agilent 86120C offers an extensive set of GPIB programming com-
mands. These commands allow you to perform automated measure-
ments on manufacturing production lines and remote sites. Chapter 3,
“Programming” and Chapter 4, “Programming Commands” provide all
the information you’ll need to know in order to program the
Agilent 86120C.
Display wavelengths as if measured in vacuum or standard air
Although all measurements are made in air, displayed results are cor-
rected for air dispersion to accurately show wavelength values in vac-
uum or in “standard air.” To ensure accurate wavelength
measurements, make sure that you enter the elevation from which you
will be making measurements as described in Chapter 1, “Getting
Started”.
