Hints and Tips
These pages lists a few hints and tips that will help you get the most from your analyzer and the N9061A application.
•Compatibility - speed and consistency - for best compatibility with your legacy analyzer, the N9061A application should be used on the analyzer whose frequency range most closely matches the frequency range of your legacy analyzer. For example, the best match for the 8563E with its 26.5 GHz upper frequency limit is
•Compatibility and Sweep Times - for best compatibility between
When analyzing stationary signals, you can change to the Best Speed setting, which is accessed from the Mode Setup > Preferences > Swp Type Rule menu. This results in faster sweep times on a
•
•Synchronization (1) - to synchronize after an IP command, Agilent recommends that you use the DONE command. We also suggest that the DONE command is used in conjunction with a timeout of about 5 seconds in case the analyzer starts to auto align. Alternatively, you could set auto alignment to Off. To set auto alignment to Off, press System, Alignments, Auto Align on the front panel.
•Synchronization (2) - Agilent recommends that synchronization (using the DONE command) is used with marker functions when signal tracking is turned on.
•Changing Modes - After changing into or out of RLC mode, allow at least a 1 second delay before sending subsequent commands.
•AC and DC Coupling - The 8560 Series of legacy analyzers have one RF input port, and support AC and DC coupling through the COUPLE command (page 133).
The 8568A/B has two RF input ports:
—DC Coupled (with a BNC connector) to handle a frequency range of 100 Hz to 1.5 GHz
—AC Coupled (with an N Type connector) to handle a frequency range of 100 kHz to 1.5 GHz
