Power and Control Connections

Power for the 87511A/B is supplied by the 8751A network analyzer through the interconnect

cable. The interconnect cable also transmits control signals between the test set and the

network analyzer. Connect the interconnect cable from the NETWORK ANALYZER

INTERCONNECT connector on the rear panel of the 87511A/B to the TEST SET
