4-3 PERFORMANCE
VERIFICATION FOR
THE MS462XA/B/D
MODELS
Verification of these instruments is accomplished by use of Anritsu soft
-
ware part number 2300-482. This software, along with an Anritsu Cali
-
bration and Verification Kits, will verify that the VNMS is capable of
making accurate S parameter measurements to within the uncertainty
guidelines shown in section 4-5. This software does not verify the accu
-
racy of installed options. Refer to the previous chapter for operational
tests for the VNMS options.
2300-482 Software
Requirements
q
Windows-based PC having an Operating System of Windows 95
or above.
q
National Instruments GPIB software and hardware interface,
such as the PCMCIA package.
q
One standard GPIB cable, such as an Anritsu 2100-1 or 2100-2.
q
Anritsu Calibration Kit Model 375XLF or 375XR that has con
-
nectors identical to the type installed on the VNMS. These kits
may need additional options to support verifications of 3 and 4
Port VNMS models.
q
Anritsu Verification Kit Model 366XLF or 366XR that has con-
nectors identical to the connector type installed on the VNMS.
q
High quality RF cables that match the VNMS connectors, such as
the Anritsu 3670X50-2 cable. The quantity of cables required
varies according to the number of test ports found on the VNMS
as follows:
2 Ports: one cable required
3 Ports: two cables required
4 Ports: three cables required
q
High quality adapters (male-to-male or female-to-female) may be
needed depending on sexes of cables and test ports installed on
the VNMS.
NOTE
SMA type cables or adapters having white ‘teflon’ dielectric
are generally not of acceptable quality and may cause the
verification process to fail.
q
Torque wrench (8 in/lbs) to match the connector dimensions of
the calibration and verification kit devices.
