STEP 5. Verify Operation of the Network Analyzer Modules
The Operator's Check
Allow the network analyzer modules 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. 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 module
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 network analyzer module in your
configuration.
1. On your PC screen, click the Network Analyzer icon.
2. Select a network analyzer module in your configuration.
3. On the soft front panel, select Utility > System > Service > Operator's
