PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

KEY SYSTEM PARAMETERS

perature, during warm-up, calibration, and when making measure- ments on your DUT.

￿The use of proper microwave connector mating techniques.

Measurement The measurements of the key system performance parameters are per- Technique formed using the ANRITSU 37XXX Test Software, PN: 2300-178.

NOTE

The Standard Conditions and Special Precautions de- scribed in paragraph 4-2 should be observed when per- forming these measurements.

The software will use the following standards to determine system per- formance values:

￿Assurance Air Line Set

￿Offset Termination

￿Frequency Counter

￿Power Meter

Equipment required:

37XXX Test Software (ANRITSU PN: 2300-178)

External computer/controller; refer to Table 1-1 located on page 1-9.

GPIB cable (ANRITSU PN: 2100-2), or equivalent

Measurement Procedure:

Step 1. Refer to file “Readme.txt” of the distribution disk for in- formation regarding setup of the computer/controller.

Step 2. Using the GPIB cable, connect the external computer/con- troller to the the 373XXA IEEE 488.2 GPIB rear panel con- nector.

Step 3. Program may be run from floppy disk or copied to any

folder in the computer and run from there.

Step 4. Follow the directions displayed on the computer screen to perform all tests.

NOTE

Some tests require that the first test selected must be the 12-Term Calibration. The software will guide you through this calibration.

If any tests fail, refer to the Troubleshooting and Help se- lections of the Test Software menu for assistance.
