Cal Kit Operational Check
Operational Check Procedure
The sequence of this procedure is very important and must be followed or the
performance accuracy and results may vary from the reference plots provided. Ensure
that the Test Set is not connected to the analyzer if you are performing an Operator’s
Check. The analyzer will indicate false failures if the Test Set is connected.
On a 10-Port configuration, Ports 9 and 10 are not connected to the Test Set;
therefore, only Ports 1 thru 8 are tested.
If you suspect that your 8 or 10-Port configuration is not operating properly, ensure
that all front RF jumper interconnect cables are correctly attached.
