●
In character input fields, the G/n, M/μ, k/m keys enter the letters G, M, K, respectively.
x1 is equivalent to OK ENTER. It confirms the previous entry and deactivates the
input field (closes the numeric entry bar).
The ESC CANCEL and OK ENTER keys are equivalent to the corresponding keys in the
NAVIGATION keypad.
BACK deletes the last character before the cursor position or the selected character
sequence. If an entire numeric value is selected, BACK moves the cursor in front of the
first digit.
1.1.5 Rotary Knob
The rotary knob increases and decreases numerical values, scrolls within lists, activates
controls and confirms entries. Turning or pressing the rotary knob is equivalent to the
action of the "Cursor Up" and "Cursor Down" keys or the ENTER key in the NAVIGATION
keypad.
STEP SIZE opens an input box to select the steps (in units of the current physical param-
eter) between two consecutive values if the rotary knob is turned to increase or decrease
numeric values. See
1.1.6 Standby Key
The standby toggle switch is located in the bottom left corner of the front panel.
The key serves two main purposes:
●
Toggle between standby and ready state.
●
Shut down the instrument.
1.1.7 Front Panel Connectors
The test ports and various additional connectors are located on the front panel of the
analyzer.
1.1.7.1
Test Ports
N-connectors (or smaller ruggedized connectors for microwave analyzer types), num-
bered 1, 2 ... The test ports serve as outputs for the RF stimulus signal and as inputs for
the measured RF signals from the DUT (response signals).
●
With a single test port, it is possible to generate a stimulus signal and measure the
response signal in reflection.
●
With 2, 3 or 4 test ports, it is possible to perform full two-port, 3-port or 4-port meas-
urements; see
, on page 74. Note that pairs of test
ports (1and 2, 3 and 4) are supplied by a common generator (exception: R&S ZVA67).
