Two SMA output connectors:
●
MEAS OUT provides the measured signal (b wave) for the R&S ZVA80 base unit.
●
REF OUT provides the reference signal (a wave) for the R&S ZVA80 base unit.
The output connectors are connected to the corresponding SMA connectors of PORT 3 /

2.5 Putting the Analyzer into Operation
The basic steps to be taken when setting up the R&S ZVA80 base unit for the first time
are described in the R&S ZVA Quick Start Guide, stock number 1145.1090.62 and in the
network analyzer's help system. This section gives additional information related to oper-
ation with external test sets.
2.5.1 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument
The R&S ZVA80 base unit is shipped in a cardboard box; for unpacking instructions refer
to the R&S ZVA Quick Start Guide, stock number 1145.1090.62. Each of the two external
test sets is shipped in a separate wooden case. The external test sets are fully mounted
and accompanied by the necessary cables and additional equipment.
When you receive the shipment, please take the following steps:
1. Unpack the test sets and the other contents of the wooden case.
2. Check the contents of the cases against the list of accessories to ensure that all items
are included.
3. Remove the protective caps from the 1 mm test ports at the front of the diplexer
elements and carefully inspect the converters and diplexers to make sure that they
were not damaged during shipment.
Should the external test sets be damaged, immediately notify the forwarder who shipped
them to you. External test sets returned to Rohde & Schwarz or sent in for repair must
be packed in the original wooden cases. The cases should also be kept for storing the
test sets and the accessories.
