2.8 Front Panel Operation
The instructions in this section will take you in a step-by-step sequence through the procedures used in
the basic setup and operation of the instrument. This will prepare you for making the specific types of
measurements described in succeeding sections. The discussion assumes that you are using the 8003
Precision Scalar Analyzer with a supported microwave sweeper, a Series 803XXA power sensor, and a
Series 80500 return loss bridge.
Configure the analyzer and sweeper according to the instructions in Section B.3. Connect one power
sensor to sensor input A. Connect the bridge to sensor input B. Leave sensor input C disconnected.
Turn on the sweeper first, and then the analyzer. The analyzer will perform its start-up self test and
initialize the sweeper. Press
[PRESET]
on the 8003 Precision Scalar Analyzer to bring up the preset
(default) conditions.
