Applications
The HP 8163A, 8164A, and 8166A series consists of modular lightwave measurement instruments designed for optical power measurement, wavelength analysis, and signal characterization in fiber optic systems. These instruments were standard equipment in telecommunications labs, system integration facilities, and research centers from the 1980s through 2000s for testing single-mode and multimode fiber, characterizing optical sources, and validating system performance. The series is particularly valued by technicians and engineers maintaining legacy fiber systems, upgrading network infrastructure, and supporting historical deployments where these instruments remain in service. This programming guide is an essential reference for anyone working with these classic HP lightwave test platforms, providing detailed instructions for instrument configuration, measurement setup, data collection, and result interpretation.
