STEP 5. Verify Operation of the Network Analyzers
The Operator’s Check
The operator’s check is a software driven test that checks the basic operation
of the assemblies in all of the measurement port signal paths. By performing
the operator’s check, the following are determined:
— attenuation ranges of all installed attenuators
— calibration of the receivers
— frequency response of the receivers
— phase lock
— noise floor and trace noise
— various voltages throughout the network analyzer
Accessories Used in the Operator’s Check
Male short(s) or open(s) from a 3.5 mm calibration kit.
Performing the Operator’s Check
1.
On your PC screen, click the Network Analyzer icon.
2.
Select a P937xA network analyzer in your configuration.
3.
On the soft front panel, select
Utility
>
System
>

>
Operator’s Check
.
4.
In the P937xA Operator’s Check dialog box (refer to
Figure 1-12 on
page 21
), under Configure, select either Prompt for attachment of
Short/Open, to pause at each step in the process to allow moving the
short/open to the appropriate port, or Shorts/Opens are attached to ALL
ports, to run through the test without stopping. Shorts and opens can be
mixed on the test ports.
5.
Select Begin.
6.
If shorts and opens are not connected to all ports, you will be prompted to
connect them as they are needed.
7.
The result of the operator’s check will be shown as a PASS or FAIL next to
each test (refer to
Figure 1-12 on page 21
.
Allow the P937xA network analyzer to warm up for at least one hour before
performing the Operator’s Check.
Perform the Operator’s Check on each
P937xA
network analyzer in your
configuration.
