2-14 PN: 10580-00301 Rev. D MS20xxB UG
USB Interface – Type A
The VNA Master has two Type A USB connectors (refer to item “7” in Figure 2-9
on page 2-13) that accept USB Flash Memory devices for storing measurements, setup data,
and screen images.
USB Interface – Mini-B
The USB 2.0 Mini-B connector (refer to item “4” in Figure 2-9 on page 2-13) can be used to
connect the VNA Master directly to a PC, as shown in Figure 2-10. The first time the
VNA Master is connected to a PC, the normal USB device detection by the computer
operating system will take place. The CD-ROM that is shipped with the instrument contains
a driver for Windows XP that is installed when Master Software Tools is installed. Drivers
are not available for earlier versions of the Windows operating system. During the driver
installation process, place the CD-ROM in the computer drive and specify that the
installation wizard should search the CD-ROM for the driver.
Ethernet Interface (Option 411)
On all VNA Master models MS20xxB with Option 411, the Ethernet connector can be used to
connect the VNA Master directly to a PC. Refer to Appendix F, “LAN and DHCP” for more
information.
Headset Jack
The headset jack provides audio output from the built-in AM/FM/SSB demodulator for testing
and troubleshooting wireless communication systems. The jack accepts a 2.5 mm 3-wire
miniature phone plug such as those commonly used with cellular telephones. (refer to item
“8” in Figure 2-9 on page 2-13)
