Startup Guide
1 Getting Started
Introduction
The scope of this Startup Guide is to detail the processes of receiving and installing the
Keysight Streamline Series P937xA vector network analyzer (VNA) and cables that
compose the P937xA VNA. Additionally, installing the required software and verifying
P937xA vector network analyzer operation is documented. If you have any questions
after reviewing this information, please contact your local Keysight Technologies Inc.
representative or contact us through our support Website at

STEP 1. Unpack and Inspect the P937xA Network Analyzer
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies.
Figure 1-1 on page 6 shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD
protection: conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination, and conductive
floor-mat and heel-strap combination. Both types, when used together,
provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and
wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1
meg-ohm of isolation from ground.
Most causes of instrument failure can be avoided if you will apply the
information in this section. PLEASE READ!
Do NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
