U3042AE12 Operational Check
Operational Check
This operational check is to confirm the U3042AE12 and PNA operational performance.
The operation verification limits provided ensure that your U3042AE12 and PNA are
operating properly. Refer to “Troubleshooting Operational Check Failures” on page 80 to
ensure the RF interface cables are installed and working correctly before returning the
test set for repairs.
Verification Limits
Specifications for the U3042AE12 Multiport Test Set are typical. System performance for
the PNA and Test Set are only characteristic and intended as non warranted information.
Only a functional certificate is provided for the U3042AE12.
It is recommended that you return your instrument to Agilent Technologies for servicing or
repair if the Test Set and PNA performance exceed the operational verification limits.
