Performing a Confidence Test
This first measurement is a confidence test that functionally checks the
N5500A test set’s filters and low-noise amplifiers using the test set’s low noise
amplifier. The phase detectors are not tested. This confidence test also
confirms that the test set, PC, and analyzers are communicating with each
other. To conduct the test, use a file with pre-stored parameters named
Confidence.pnm.
1 On the E5500 GUI main menu, select File\Open.
2 If necessary, choose the drive or directory where the file you want is stored.
3 In the File Name box, select Confidence.pnm (Figure 6).
4 Click the Open button.
The appropriate measurement definition parameters for this example have
been pre-stored in this file. Table 3 on page 43 lists the parameter data that
has been entered for the N5500A confidence test example.
5 To view the parameter data in the software, navigate to the Define
Measurement window. Use Figure 7 on page 40 as a navigation guide. The
