1 Introduction
This manual supports the WILTRON 2300-175 VNA Performance Veri-
fication Software. This software is used with the WILTRON
360X/372XX(A/B)/373XXA Vector Network Analyzer Systems. The
manual is organized into five chapters, as shown below.
General Information—provides an overview of the product.
•
Required Equipment—describes the test equipment, compo-
•
nents, hardware and software required to use this product.
Configuring the System—describes how the equipment is setup
•
and interconnected.

2 Format of the Verification Software Disks
The Performance Verification Software is offered on an IBM compatible
1.44MB floppy disk.
3Capability
This software provides for automating measurements of the test components contained in a WILTRON 3666, 3667, 3668, 3669, or 3669B
Verification Kit.
It compares the measurements made on your
360X/372XX(A/B)/373XXA with the test component data provided in
each verification kit. This will aid in determining if the measurement
values obtained for the components are within the uncertainty limits
provided on the data disk packaged with each verification kit.
4 Data Output
The test data and results are output in the form of four files to a
directory (C:\verify.vna\data) on your computers hard drive. The default file names, depending on the type of test being performed, are:
Page 1

20db.dat
40db.dat or 50db.dat
airline.dat
beatty.dat
NOTE:
The Performance Verification Software allows you to rename
these files to file names of your choice with default ".dat"
extension.
The tabular data in each file is given at discrete frequencies (1.0, 1.5,
or 3.0 GHz intervals—depending on the connector type and corresponding frequency range).
