Chapter 1 Overview
Test Preparations
Before the test, make the following preparations.
1. Warm the spectrum analyzer up for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make sure that the instrument is within the calibration period (the calibration period is 1 year)
and perform self-calibration on the spectrum analyzer (press System Calibrate Cal Now
and the spectrum analyzer performs self-calibration immediately using the internal calibration
source).
3. The test devices required are as shown in the table below.
