2. Setting up the 4286A

Before you start the measurement, you must set up the 4286A to t your measurement
requirements. This section provides the set up procedures for L s -Q frequency characteristics
measurements.
To set up the 4286A, press the front panel keys as shown below. All keys necessary for this set
up procedures are available on the MEASUREMENT Block.
