5-10 Power On Self Test
At power on, the VNA Master runs through a series of quick checks to ensure that the system
is functioning properly.
From the “System Menu”, the System Self Test (“Self Test” on page 5-3) runs a series of tests
that are related to the instrument itself. The Application Self Test (“Application Self Test”
on page 5-3) runs a series of tests that are related to the current operating mode of the
instrument.
If the VNA Master is within the specified operating range with a charged battery, and if the
self test fails, then contact your Anritsu Service Center (http://www.anritsu.com/Contact.asp).
To start a self test when the system is already powered up:
1. Press the Shift key and then the System (8) key.
2. Press the Self Test soft key (submenu key). The Self Test results are displayed.
3. Press Esc to continue.
