Features of the Program
l
The program can automatically create a printout similar to the test records at the
back of this chapter.
l
The program can beep when equipment connections need to be changed.
l
The program can start the test sequence at any test in the operation verification
or performance test list.
l
The program can stop after each measurement or alternatively, only if a failure
occurs.
l
The program can be run in manual mode.
Test Duration
The operation verification tests require approximately two hours to
complete in semiautomated mode. The performance tests require
approximately three hours to complete in semiautomated mode.
Calibration Cycle
To verify the Agilent 89410A DC-10 MHz Vector Signal Analyzer is meeting
its published specifications, do the performance tests every 12 months.
Recommended Test Equipment
The following table lists the recommended equipment needed to test the
performance of the Agilent 89410A Vector Signal Analyzer. Other
equipment may be substituted for the recommended model if it meets or
exceeds the listed critical specifications. The table also identifies the test
equipment that is controlled by this program. If you use a test instrument
that is not controlled by the program, the program prompts you to set the
instrument state during testing.
Also, if you want the test record to be automatically printed, you need an
GPIB printer. If you want the printer to automatically leave top and bottom
margins on every page, enable perforation skip mode (see your printer’s
manual for directions). If you do not have an GPIB printer you must
record the results of each test in the test records. These test records may
be reproduced without written permission of Agilent Technologies.
