1.3.2 Instrument Setup
The network analyzer is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a
bench top or in a rack. The general ambient conditions required at the operating site
are as follows:
C
The ambient temperature must be in the ranges specified for operation and for
compliance with specifications (see data sheet).
C
All fan openings including the rear panel perforations must be unobstructed. The
distance to the wall should be at least 10 cm.
Electrostatic discharge
To avoid damage of electronic components of the DUT and the analyzer, the operating
site must be protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is most likely to
occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the analyzer's test ports.
To prevent ESD damage use a wrist strap and grounding cord and connect yourself to
ground.
1.3.3 Bench Top Operation
If the analyzer is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat.
In order to move the handle into the desired position, pull at both side knobs and turn
the handle.
