1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance General Information

1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Instrument care and preventive maintenance consist of proper operation in a suitable environment, occasional cleaning of the instrument, and inspecting and cleaning the RF connectors and all accessories before use. Clean the instrument with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.

Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Ventilation and Cooling

The Field Master Pro provides active cooling of the internal components to prevent damage from overheating. The airflow vents on the edges and bottom of the instrument must be kept clear and unobstructed while the instrument is powered on. When using the Field Master Pro on a desktop or bench, the tilt bail can be used or the instrument can be placed flat on its back to facilitate increased airflow.

Caution

Do not operate or store the Field Master Pro in extreme environments. Refer to the instrument Technical Data Sheet for the specified operating and storage conditions.

Connector Care

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf · in to 15 lbf· in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N · m). Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.

Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument. Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can damage the connector, the instrument, or both.

General Information 1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Connecting Procedure

1. Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.

2. Align and push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together. A slight resistance can usually be felt as the center conductors mate.

3. To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.

4. If you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn or 45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.

Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while tightening with the torque wrench.

Do not over-torque the connector.

Disconnecting Procedure

1. If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while loosening with a second wrench.

2. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.

3. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.

1-5 Calibration and Verification General Information

ESD Caution

The Field Master Pro, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the instrument without discharging the static charge) may damage the Field Master Pro input circuitry. Instrument operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.

Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the Field Master Pro, it is recommended that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the instrument. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the Field Master Pro. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

1-5 Calibration and Verification

The Field Master Pro comes fully calibrated from the factory and there are no field-adjustable components. Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. Accredited calibration to ISO17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 are available and can include a calibration certificate, test report, and uncertainty data. Contact Anritsu sales and service centers for more information.

Operating the Touch Screen

Field Master Pro uses common touch gestures to achieve a variety of operations. These include interactions on hot areas by pressing, double pressing (or tapping), dragging, and pinching.

Single Press: Most controls require a single press or tap. Touch the screen briefly and then release.

Double Press: Some controls require a double press or tap. This action is similar to a double mouse click. If a second press is not detected in a certain time period, the action is dismissed or considered a single press.

Figure 2-7. Touch Screen Gestures

Press and Drag: Some items can be dragged to a new

location. This action is accomplished by pressing and holding the item lightly while dragging it to a new location, then releasing. You can drag items such as markers, limit line nodes, and the center frequency by dragging the trace to the left or right.

Pinch: Some items can be reduced or expanded. This action is accomplished by simultaneously pressing the item with two fingers and holding the item lightly when dragging the fingers in closer together or out farther apart, and then releasing. You can pinch items in or out, such as the frequency span by touching and holding the trace in two positions, and then dragging your fingers closer together to narrow the span or dragging your fingers farther apart to widen the span.

2-7 GUI Overview Instrument Overview

Data Entry

User input can be in the form of numeric values for instrument or measurement settings, selected values from a preset list, or alphanumeric text when entering file names, for example. To view or change a parameter value, access the appropriate menu or control, then enter data using the data entry control or attached physical keyboard. Some items can be accessed directly on the annotated display by touching their value.

Invalid Entries

When setting parameters or entering other types of data, if an entry is out of range or is otherwise invalid, Field Master Pro will shade the background display and may provide a message indicating a valid range. In this case, clear or cancel the entry and enter a valid value or change the units by using either the drop-down selection next to the data entry window, or with the unit terminators to the left of the keypad.

Numeric Values

To modify a numeric parameter setting that is displayed on a menu or annotated field, press the item to make it active and to display the numeric keypad data entry control. Use the touch screen to enter or change the value.

The keypad typically provides controls to:

• Enter new values directly, such as frequency entries in Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz. There are two places on the keypad to enter unit terminators when applicable, on left side pop-out that occurs as frequency keypad entries are selected, or on the top right corner drop-down of the entry field.

• Drag a parameter value within its settable range using a sliding control.

• Increment the parameter value up or down. At each end of the slider are plus

(+) and minus (–) controls that increment the parameter value. Most parameters have a fixed increment, such as bandwidth that follows a 1:3:10 sequence and span that follows a 1:2:5:10 sequence. In the case of frequency, you can set a custom frequency step increment value. Once the entry is complete, press the desired unit or press ACCEPT to complete the entry.

• Set the parameter to the maximum or minimum possible value.

• CLEAR the entire entry.

• Left arrow to backspace and delete the entry

• CANCEL to terminate any entries made for that particular setting. Note that

pressing the "X" to close the keypad is the same as pressing cancel. Pressing CANCEL will restore settings back to the state they were in before the keypad opened, even if changes from the +/- controls are already reflected in the data display.

• ACCEPT to operate with the settings displayed on the keypad.

Figure 2-9. Touchscreen Keypads

A physical keyboard connected via USB can also be used to enter values in a similar manner and the keyboard ENTER key used to accept the new value.
