Front Panel Operation
Publication 31470-001, Rev C, November 2, 2017
2-3
CAUTION
To avoid losing some current settings and ensuring that the meter powers up
properly, observe the following procedures:
1)
Remove AC Power to the rear panel only after at least 1 second has lapsed from the time the front panel
ON/OFF switch has been pressed to turn off the meter.
2)
Cycling the ON/OFF switch should be no faster than once a second. Pressing the
ON/OFF
switch in rapid
succession is not recommended.
3)
If the current setup is critical, it is recommended to save it as a stored setup to prevent accidental loss
2 - Data Interaction Softkeys
The data interaction softkeys select the options for configuration and measurement control. In this
publication, instructions to press a softkey are identified with the selected option in italics enclosed in
brackets, such as ‘press
[Sensor Setup]
to configure a new power sensor’. Softkey statements will be in
the same case as in the actual displays.
3 - Display
The liquid crystal screen displays measurements and configuration data. It also displays the operating
and control functions that can be selected with the data interaction softkeys. Figure 2-1 illustrates a
typical display screen with the menu control functions aligned with the data interaction softkeys.
The menus to calibrate and perform measurements with the 8650B are many and varied. A complete
menu map is provided in Appendix D of this publication. Until thoroughly familiar with the operation of
the 8650B, refer to the appropriate menu map to reach the function to perform in order to speed up
operation.
When turning on the power, the model number and software version will display for five seconds and
then be replaced with the Main display (See Figure 2-2).
4 - Calibrator Output
The Calibrator connector is a reference power output for calibrating the amplitude response of a power
sensor (See Section 2.4.3 for instructions on how to calibrate and zero sensors). The frequency of the
output is fixed at 50 MHz or 1 GHz, depending on the sensor in use. The Calibrator output can also be
used as a programmable low-level power output (See Section 2.3.1.1). During a calibration run, the
output level automatically sweeps from -30 dBm to +20 dBm in 1-dB steps.
5 - Sensor Inputs
The
A
and
B
connectors interface Channel A and Channel B sensors to the power meter. The dual-
channel 8652B has sensor A and B inputs; the single-channel 8651B has only sensor A input. Refer to the
Sensor Configuration details in Section 2.3.4.
CAUTION
When connecting sensor cables to these inputs, the cable pins must be aligned properly.
Orient the cable so that the guide on the end of it aligns with the notch on the sensor
input. If the connector does not seem to fit, forcing it will only damage the connector pins.
