Tests and Adjustments
Before You Begin
Allow the Analyzer to Warm Up
Review the Principles of Connector Care
Proper connector care and connection techniques are critical for accurate and
repeatable measurements. Refer to Table 3-1 for tips on connector care.
Prior to making connections to your analyzer, carefully review the information
about inspecting, cleaning, and gaging connectors. Refer to the calibration kit
documentation for detailed connector care information.
For course numbers about additional connector care instruction, contact
Keysight Technologies. Refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 2-7 .
To achieve the maximum system stability, allow the analyzer to warm up
for at least 90 minutes.
Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the
instrument power cord removed and in a well-ventilated area. Allow
all residual alcohol moisture to evaporate, and the fumes to
dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
