System Verification

E8362C, E8363C, E836C

If the System Fails the Verification Test

IMPORTANT

Inspect all connections.

Do not

remove the cable from the analyzer test port. This

will

invalidate

the calibration that you performed earlier.

1. Disconnect and clean the device that failed the verification test.

2. Reconnect the device making sure that all connections are torqued to the proper specifications.

3. Measure the device again.

4. If the analyzer still fails the test, check the measurement calibration by viewing the error terms as

described in

“Accessing Error Terms” on page 8-8

5. Refer to

Figure 3-14

for additional troubleshooting steps.
