Release Notes for Firmware 1171.5360.52 29
Execute internal adjustments
Risk of damage for device under test!
During adjustment, assemblies without attenuator temporarily provide high power at
the RF plug. This may cause damage to the device under test (DUT). Furthermore,
those instruments require that the RF plug is terminated by 50 ohm during adjustment.
So it is recommended to disconnect the DUT and replace it by a 50 ohm terminating
resistor.
Press the PRESET key on the instrument front panel.
Press the SETUP key, select Internal Adjustments and execute Adjust All.
This procedure updates all internal instrument adjustments and will take
several minutes. Adjustments requiring external measurement equipment are
not affected by the firmware update and need not to be performed.
