Introduction
This chapter describes the use of the Anritsu 2300-580-R Performance Verification Software (PVS) with the
VectorStar ME7838D Modular BB/mm-Wave VNA Measurement System. The ME7838D is based on the
VectorStar MS4647A/B Vector Network Analyzer running VectorStar for the MS4647B model Application
Version 2.1.0 or higher and equipped with Option 08x or the MS4647A model Application Version 1.7.6 and
equipped with Option 08x.

Configuring the Hardware
This section describes how the various system elements are interconnected and describes the preliminary steps
required for operation of the verification software. See
“Required VectorStar ME7838D Broadband System, 70
kHz to 145 GHz Instruments and Components” on page 2-1
above for a complete equipment list.
1.
Ensure that the VNA system is set to “Broadband”.
2.
To verify the setting, from the right side
MAIN
menu, select the broadband test set button:
•
MAIN | Application | APPLICATION | Rcvr Config | RCVR CONFIG | BB/mmWave (3738 Test Set) or
BB/mmWave (3739 Test Set)
3.
Select the
Baseband
Receiver Configuration.
4.
Connect a GPIB cable between the PC Controller and the VNA Rear Panel GPIB port labeled IEEE 488.2
GPIB.
Note
Anritsu does not support tests or verification processes for wafer probe equipment. Contact the
vendor of the wafer probe equipment if such support is desired.
Caution
Do not connect the cable to the VNA Rear Panel GPIB port labeled
Dedicated GPIB
