Chapter 2 — Instrument Overview
2-1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Anritsu Spectrum Master. It describes the
instrument front panel, touch screen display, and the connector panel. For detailed
information on the instrument’s test and measurement functions, refer to one of the Anritsu
user documents listed in Appendix A, “Measurement Guides”.
2-2 Turning On the Spectrum Master
The Anritsu Spectrum Master is capable of approximately three hours of continuous
operation from a fully charged, field-replaceable battery (refer to “Battery Replacement”
on page 1-9). The Spectrum Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC source (which will
simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either the Anritsu AC-DC
Adapter or the Automotive Power Adapter. Both items are included as standard accessories
with the Spectrum Master. Refer to the instrument Technical Data Sheet.
To turn on the Spectrum Master, press the green On/Off button on the front panel (see
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2).
The
Spectrum Master takes approximately 60 seconds to complete power-up and to load the
application software. At the completion of this process, the instrument is ready for use.
Caution
When using the Automotive Power Adapter, always verify that the supply is rated
for a minimum of 60 Watts @ 12 VDC, and that the socket is clear of any dirt or
debris. If the adapter plug becomes hot to the touch during operation, discontinue
use immediately.
Note
Keep the fan inlet and exhaust ports clear of obstructions at all times for proper
ventilation and cooling of the instrument.
