CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT
• Ground The Instrument
To avoid electric shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected
to a safety earth ground by the supplied power cable with earth blade.
• DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes. Operation
of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
• Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always
disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
• DO NOT Service Or Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
• DO NOT Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts
or perform unauthorized modifications to the instrument. Return the instrument to an
Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.

Instrument Covered by This Manual
Agilent Technologies uses a two-part, ten-character serial number label (See Figure 1-1)
attached to the instrument's rear panel. The first five characters are the serial prefix and the
last five digits are the suffix.
Figure 1-1 Serial Number Label
An instrument manufactured after the printing date of this manual may have serial number
prefix that is not listed on the title page. This unlisted serial number prefix indicates the
instrument is different from those described in this manual. The manual for this new
instrument may be accompanied by a yellow Manual Changes supplement or have a
different manual part number. This sheet contains “change information” that explains how
to adapt the manual to the newer instrument.
In addition to change information, the supplement may contain information for correcting
errors (Errata) in the manual. To keep this manual as current and accurate as possible,
Agilent Technologies recommends that you periodically request the latest Manual Changes
supplement. The supplement for this manual is identified by this manual's printing data and
is available from Agilent Technologies. If the serial prefix or number of an instrument is
lower than that on the title page of this manual, see Appendix A, Manual Changes. For
information concerning a serial number prefix that is not listed on the title page or in the
Manual change supplement, contact the nearest Agilent Technologies office.

Introduction
Introduction
This literature provides the performance test procedures for the Agilent E5092A. The
performance test names are listed in Table 2-1. The test procedures are described
sequentially in the following pages.
The test name indicates the tested performance and to which performance group the tested
performance belongs.
Each procedure consists of the following parts:
Description: describes the test procedure.
Specification: describes the performance verified in the test.
Test Equipment: describes test equipment required in the test.
Procedure: describes the test procedure step by step.
NOTE Allow the E5092A to warm up for at least 90 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests.
Perform all performance tests in an ambient temperature of 23 ±5 °C
NOTE Before performing any tests, make extra copies of the performance test record pertaining to
the test procedure. These are required in the test procedure. For explanation of how to use
these records, see the performance test record at the end of this literature.
