2 Getting Started
The following chapter presents a sample session with a R&S ZVA network analyzer and explains how
to solve basic tasks that you will frequently encounter when working with the instrument.
Before starting any measurement on your network analyzer, please note the
instructions given in Chapter Preparing for Use.
In the System Overview you will find detailed information on customizing the instrument and the display
according to your personal preferences. For a systematic explanation of all menus, functions and
parameters and background information refer to the reference chapters in the online help system.
Use the Measurement Wizard in the System menu to perform a standard S-parameter
measurement in a straightforward way. The wizard provides a series of dialogs where you can select
the test setup, screen configuration and measurement parameters, configure the essential channel
settings and perform a guided calibration.
Measurement stages in the wizard
The different dialogs of the measurement wizard correspond to the typical stages of any measurement:
1. Select the test setup
2. Select the measurement parameters and the diagram areas
3. Define the sweep range
4. Adjust the receiver and source settings (measurement bandwidth, source power)
5. Perform a calibration
In the following we assume that you are familiar with standard Windows dialogs and mouse
operation. Refer to Using Front Panel Keys and Data Entry to learn how to access instrument
functions and control dialogs without a mouse and keyboard.
