The Operator's Check

Allow the P937xA network analyzer to warm up for at least one hour before
performing the Operator's Check.
The operator's check is a software driven test that checks the basic operation
of the assemblies in all of the measurement port signal paths. By performing
the operator's check, the following are determined:
— attenuation ranges of all installed attenuators
— calibration of the receivers
— frequency response of the receivers
— phase lock
— noise floor and trace noise
— various voltages throughout the network analyzer
Accessories Used in the Operator's Check
Male short(s) or open(s) from a 3.5 mm calibration kit.
Performing the Operator's Check
Perform the Operator's Check on each P937xA network analyzer in your
configuration.
