The current families of Agilent RF/µW
products are tested in Agilent Service
Centers using a robust common soft-
ware environment. We are offering
licenses to customers who would
like to use the same software. These
licenses guarantee you have access
to the most current versions of test
software, while also protecting
Agilent intellectual property from
inappropriate use.
Maximize your cal lab’s effectiveness,
while minimizing turnaround time
and cost.
Gain confidence in calibrations
and adjustments: take advantage
of Agilent’s experience and
expertise in calibration and
adjustment software.
With Agilent calibration software,
you eliminate the time and expense
involved in developing software
yourself and you gain the confidence
of knowing that your instruments are
calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommended proce-
dures. The software is designed with
the flexibility you need to increase
your company’s productivity and
improve quality. As new instruments
and/or options are released, you will
save time by simply downloading the
latest revision of software from the
web. See page 7 for a full list of soft-
ware features.

Records indicate that over 10% of products appearing otherwise “healthy”
actually fail some datapoint during testing, requiring adjustment. Even if
they do not need hardware replacement or repair, such adjustment would
require a round trip to a service provider if the adjustment tools are not
available to a self-maintainer. Likewise, even when hardware can be
repaired in the field, it often requires post-repair adjustment to ensure
the instrument is performing within specifications.
For a complete list of instrument
model numbers, please refer to the
table in page 6. As other families of
instruments become supported with
compatible PC-based calibration and
adjustment software, they will be
added to the licensing program. See
page 6 for minimum PC requirements.
