Verifying Test Set Operation

Verifying Test Set Operation

The test set is designed to operate with an HP 8510C network analyzer. You can verify its operation by:

Table 1-2 Test Set Operation Verification

Checking System Operation

Perform a system calibration as described in the HP 8510C Operating and

 

Programming Manual. A successful calibration indicates that the system, and

 

therefore the test set, are operating properly.

 

 

Checking Specifications

Specifications for the test set, and the system, can be determined by running

 

the specification and performance verification software described in the HP

 

8510C On-Site Service Manual, Chapter 8, “Specification and Performance

 

Verification”. Additional mechanical specifications and supplemental

 

characteristics are in Chapter 4, “Specifications” of this manual.

 

 

Troubleshooting the Test Set

To troubleshoot the test set, refer to the HP 8510C On-Site Service Manual.

 

Use the information in that manual to determine if the test set is at fault. If the

 

test set is at fault, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting the Test Set” in this

 

manual to isolate the trouble.
