2.4 Setting Up the Analyzer
To set up a Merlin II system,
Step 1 Attach the Antenna to the ANT connection point on the analyzer.
The antenna should point up.
Step 2 Connect the provided external power supply to the analyzer and then
to a 100-volt to 240-volt, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, 100 W power outlet.
Note At power-on, the analyzer initializes itself in approximately ten seconds and
performs an exhaustive self-diagnostic that lasts about five seconds. The status
LED flashes during the power-on testing and turns on steadily if the unit is
functioning properly when testing is finished. If the diagnostics fail, the status
LED blinks slowly, indicating a hardware failure. If this occurs, call CATC
Customer Support for assistance.
Step 3 Connect the USB cable between the USB port on the back of the
analyzer and a USB port on the analyzing PC.
The host operating system detects the analyzer and begins to install the USB
driver.
