3-15 Troubleshooting

Using the 2300-580-R Software with VectorStar ME7838D4

3-38

PN: 10410-00327  Rev. D

3659 0.8 mm Cal/Ver Kit & 2300-580-R PVS UG

4. 

When installing calibration devices, and when measuring verification devices, pay particular attention to 

proper connector alignment and torque. Torque the connector using the torque wrench supplied with the 
calibration kit.

5. 

Assure all active systems have been powered on at least one hour before the start of the calibrations.

If you still have difficulty after following the above steps, please contact Anritsu customer service and ask for 
the Vector Network Analyzer support engineer for further assistance.
