HP 10811A Operating & Service Manual page 8

This manual is designed to present the information required by the user to effectively operate and
maintain the 10811A/B Quartz Crystal Oscillator.
In limiting the depth of coverage of this manual, a certain amount of previous knowledge on the part of the
reader must be assumed. A variety of additional related documentation is available. These materials
address the specific areas of interest, and should be used whenever necessary to supplement this
manual. Users unfamiliar with precision time keeping and frequency standards, for example, may wish to
refer to the 10811A/B Documentation Map for further information.
The following references can provide additional information about the theory and use of precision
frequency sources and quartz oscillators.

documents
The 10811A/B Quartz Crystal Oscillator has two manuals available. The Operating Instruction
Manual is supplied with the oscillator and is intended for the user that desires only operating
information. The Operating and Service Manual is a complete document containing both
operating and servicing information. The Operating and Service Manual (This manual) is not
supplied with the oscillator, but is available by ordering HP Part No. 10811-90002

Manual to Sections IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII should be considered references to the Operating
and Service Manual.
