Agilent Technologies 11896A Manuale Utente
Using
the
Agilent
11896A
Precise
manual
adjustment
of
the
four
paddles
in
the
polarization
controller
can
be
made
using
the
front-panel
knobs
while
watching
the
display
.
Each
paddle
can
rotate
180
in
1000
discrete
steps
of
0.18
each.
The
three-segment
display
shows
the
relative
step
count,
where
zero
corresponds
to
0
and
999
corresponds
to
180
.
Nine
save/recall
registers
enable
rapid
state
of
polarization
hopping
between
nine
dierent
user-set
states
of
polarization
(SOP).
A
utoscanning
continuously
sweeps
all
states
of
polarization
in
a
random
fashion,
eliminating
the
need
to
manually
tune
the
SOP
across
the
entire
P
oincare
sphere
.
Eight
polarization
scan
rates
are
available
to
match
the
speed
of
the
application,
whether
it
is
a
ve-minute
,
wavelength-scanning
PDL
measurement
or
a
three-second,
single-wavelength
PDL
measurement.
A
utoscanning
rates
are
fast
enough
to
produce
polarization
scrambling
for
some
applications
.
Remote
interrogation
of
all
instrument
settings
and
remote
control
of
all
instrument
functions
are
provided
via
GPIB
.

to
Chapter
4
for

on
remote
programming.
