3-24 Troubleshooting
Difficulty Running the Program
If you have difficulty getting the program to run properly:
1.
Check your GPIB interconnection cables and addresses.
2.
Check to see that the Windows GPIB is present on the boot drive, that it is properly configured, and that
it passes the National Instruments hardware and software tests.
If, after checking the above steps, you are still having difficulty, contact your Anritsu customer service center
and ask for the Vector Network Analyzer support engineer for further assistance.
Difficulty Meeting System Specifications
If the verification software appears to run properly, but the results are not within the measurement limits
associated with the verification kit:
1.
Check both the verification kit and calibration kit devices for signs of physical damage. Make sure that
the connectors are clean.
2.
Ensure that the serial number of the verification kit USB drive matches that shown on the verification
kit.
3.
Repeat the process with a fresh calibration. Save the results of both measurements as an aid in
troubleshooting, and in case you require factory assistance.
