System Configuration
For on-wafer measurements, it is usually best to remove the network
analyzer from the instrument rack, and place it on a table adjacent to the
probe station. This allows for easy viewing of the analyzer display, and easy
access to the analyzer's front panel controls.
The test heads are placed on X-Y positioners on the probe station. Locations
on a probe station are conventionally referred to in terms of compass points;
accordingly, the left test head is placed on the "west" positioner, and the
right test head is placed on the "east" positioner.
