3. Active LED.
This LED lights about two seconds after power
is turned on, following the successful conclusion of self-test.
4.
Port 1.
This test port transmits RF energy from the source
to the DUT and receives reflected RF energy from the DUT.
The reflected RF energy is coupled to a sampler within the
instrument.

bias
applied to Port 2 is within this holder (see the instrument
front panel or the replaceable parts list for the value of the
fuse F2).

Port
2. In the
this test port transmits RF energy
from the source to the DUT and receives reflected RF energy
from the DUT.
In the
this port only receives transmitted (from
Port 1) RF energy. The received RF energy is input directly to
