Verification Software Overview
The Anritsu Broadband Measurement System Performance Verification Software is provided on a USB
memory device. The verification software provides for automating measurements of the test components
contained in the Anritsu Model 3656C Calibration/Verification Kit.
The software compares the measurements of NIST traceable standards made with your instrument to the
standard's test data provided on the verification kit's USB memory device. This aids in determining if the
measurement values are consistent with system specifications.
Data Output
The test data and results are output in the form of four files to a directory (
X:\installed directory
) on
your computer's hard drive. The default file names, depending on the type of test being performed, are:
•
