U3042AE12 System Setup with N5230A/C
N5230A/C RF Interface Cable Connections
Figure 10 on page 16 illustrates the setup configuration of the U3042AE12 Multiport Test
Set and how it should be configured to the PNA-L.
1. Connect the RF interconnect cables, supplied with this option, from the PNA-L to the
Test Set. Torque each cable to 8 in-lb. Refer to Table 10 and Figure 10 on page 16. The
Z5623-20418 are the short cables and the Z5623-20419 are the long cables.
CAUTION Each end of the interconnect RF cables have a different length from the bend.
When connecting the RF Interconnect cables be sure that the longer end from
the bend is connected to the PNA.
CAUTION Over torque will cause damage to the test set and may cause connectors to
spin or become loose.

2. Connect the PNA Test Set I/O cable (8120-6818) to the U3042AE12 Test Set Interface
on the rear panel. Refer to Figure 30 on page 39.
