    Performance Verification System Operator’s Check System Operator’s Check To achieve the maximum system stability, allow the analyzer to warm up for at least 15 minutes 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.
  • Page 78 Performance Verification System Operator’s Check 5. The result of the operator’s check will be shown as a PASS or FAIL next to each test (refer to Figure 4-1). The PNA Operator’s Check dialog box will look different for different PNA model numbers and installed options. Some of the tests are performed only if the appropriate options are installed in the PNA.
