摘要

Proper technique can ensure that a highly sensitive and expensive instrument is put to use making quality measurements instead of sitting on a repair bench.

As these instruments are necessarily very sensitive machines, they are prone to mechanical and electrical damage if improperly handled. In an application note by Keysight Technologies, tips for avoiding long repair cycles or costly equipment replacement requisitions are suggested.
