• This document

Update Procedure

1. If you have received a self-extracting archive file per e-mail or as a download

a set of disks must first be created from the archive file.

Proceed as follows:

½ Check if you have received all files.

disk1.bin self extracting ZIP file, used to generate update disk 1 data2.cab packed contents of disk 2, automatically unpacked during FW update data3.cab packed contents of disk 3, automatically unpacked during FW update data4.cab packed contents of disk 4, automatically unpacked during FW update data5.cab packed contents of disk 5, automatically unpacked during FW update disk_d.bin this document packed

½ Keep five DOS-formatted 3.5" / 1.44 Mbyte disks ready. ½ Label disks as follows:

V3.52 DISK 1 V3.52 DISK 2 V3.52 DISK 3 V3.52 DISK 4 V3.52 DISK 5

½ Create a temporary directory on your PC (e.g. ZVRTEMP on C:\). For this you require about

3 Mbytes of free memory on your hard disk.

½ Copy file disk1.bin to this temporary directory. ½ Rename file disk1.bin to disk1.exe.

1112.8050.52 2 E-17

ZVx Firmware Version 3.52

½ Execute disk1.exe, e.g. by using the following command sequence for Windows95/NT:

<CTRL><ESC> - RUN – C:\ ZVRTEMP \DISK1 - <ENTER> (English version) or <CTRL><ESC> - AUSFÜHREN – C:\ ZVRTEMP \DISK1 - <ENTER> (German version).

The files are extracted.

½ Delete file disk1.exe in the temporary directory.

The temporary directory should contain the following files: _inst32i.ex_ _isdel.exe _setup.dll _sys1.cab _user1.cab

data.tag data1.cab lang.dat layout.bin os.dat readme.txt setup.exe setup.ini setup.ins setup.lid

½ Copy all files to update disk 1 (V3.52 DISK 1).

Check if all files are on the disk with their correct names. In particular, the underscores ("_" as in "_inst32iex_") are essential for a successful update.

½ The contents of the other 4 disks are already in the format needed for the update. Files

data2.cab,..., data5.cab must be copied to the corresponding disks DISK2, ..., DISK5.

The disks are now ready, and you can continue with section 2 "If you have received a firmware update kit on a disk ...".

Notes: If any error messages are output during creation of a dis k , the ins tallation proc es s for the

disk in question must be repeated. Before re-creating the disk, check if the write protection of the disk has been removed.

File disk_d.bin contains this document in pdf format. To unpack the document proceed as follows:

½ Copy disk_d.bin to the temporary directory. ½ Rename the file to disk_d.exe. ½ Execute disk_d.exe, e.g. by using the following command sequence for Windows95/NT:

<CTRL><ESC> - RUN – C:\ ZVRTEMP \DISK_D - <ENTER> (English version) or<CTRL><ESC> - AUSFÜHREN – C:\ ZVRTEMP \DISK_D - <ENTER> (German version)

1112.8050.52 5 E-17

Firmware Version 3.52 ZVx

Improvements

• When reading and writing system error correction data and level correction data in the REAL64 format, an error message is output. Affected IEC/IEEE bus commands: SENSe[1..4]:CORRection:DATA SENSe[1..4]:CORRection:POWer:DATA SOURce[1..4]:POWer:CORRection:DATA

• If a waveguide calibration (WAVEGUIDE = ON) is performed via IEC/IEEE bus with a CUTOFF FREQUENCY that is higher than the START FREQUENCY, an error message is now output because this action is not permitted.

• Omission of unnecessary level calibration interpolation (improves performance especially during operation via the IEC/IEEE bus).

• The CALC:MARK:FUNC:RES? IEC/IEEE bus query now yields 10 significant marker points (previously only 6).

• Improvement of signal quality of R&S SMR generators (SMR20/27/30/40/50/60, SMR20/27/30/40/50/60B11) in TTL mode. (This requires an SMR firmware version ≥1.26.)

• Generators currently not used are switched to RF OFF. This prevents erroneous measurements and avoids disconnecting any cables.

Examples:

- During power calibration of the internal generator, any external generators connected to the

instrument and set to REMOTE are switched to RF OFF.

- This applies analogously to the calibration of an external generator. In this case, the internal ge-

nerator (and, if available, a second external generator connec ted and set to REMOTE) is switched to RF OFF.

- W hen a COMP/SOI/TOI, arbitrary or mixer measurem ent is switched off, the external generators

used in the measurement are set to RF OFF.

Modifications

• New softkeys or softkeys shifted to another position in menu CAL → CAL KITS:

- Softkey USER CONN NAME now at position 9 of right side menu

- Softkey USER CONN IMPEDANCE now at position 10 of right side menu

- New softkey UNINSTALL KITS at position 10 of main menu

- New softkey WAVEGUIDE at position 6 of right side menu

- New softkey CUTOFF FREQUENCY at position 7 of right side menu

1112.8050.52 6 E-17

ZVx Firmware Version 3.52

3 Bug Fixes

• In the ACTIVE xx STANDARDS table, the entries for the OPEN standards are again available when a calibration is performed.

• System error correction data sets generated with a version <3.50 can now be recalled again (RECALL).

• The power correction function has been improved:

- External power calibration is reliably activated with COMP/SOI/TOI measurements.

- An existing power calibration can be used again in power sweeps and in time sweeps.

• The normal user (logged on under the name "INSTRUMENT") has write access again to the directory AUTOKAL, so the AutoCal function works again.

• Commanding the OFFSET SHORT standards (SENSe[1..4]:CORRection:COLLect:ACQuire:OSHORT1 or OSHORT2) in case of waveguide calibration (WAVEGUIDE = ON) is possible again.

• Errors were corrected in the following SCPI commands:

- SENS:FUNC?

- SOURce:POWer:[LEVel]:[IMMediate]:CAMPlitude

• Softkeys that were not visible are now available again:

- Menu MEAS → USER DEF’D S-PARAMS: softkeys USER DEF’D S-PARAMS and USER DEF ACTIVE

- Menu CAL → START NEW CAL → FULL ONE PORT → BOTH PORTS: softkey 2.92 mm FEMALE

- Menu MEAS → WAVE QANTITY: softkey DRIVE PORT

Characteristics of Calibration Standards (Re section 2.15.1.3)

The MODIFY CAL KIT softkey opens a m enu for the management of c alibration kits for the individual connector families.

Exact knowledge of the calibration standards is a pr erequisite for a accurate system-error calibr ation. More precisely, the calibration is based on the knowledge of those S-parameters of the standards which are assumed to be known for the applied calibration method. These S-parameters are derived from physical models which contain one or more par am eters ( such as the electric al length) depending on the type of standard.

In addition to these physical parameters, there are three des cription fields for each standar d listing the assignment of the standard and further information for the user.

1. Standard type: The type depends on the kind of standard (e.g. open c ircuit, short circuit, throughconnection) and the sex of the connectors. Example: THROUGH (MF) denotes a throughconnection with a plug at one and a socket at the other port. The standard type determines the physical description model and therefore the param eters which can be edited. Up to four individual standards with different param eters can be def ined for one standar d type. Only one of them can be selected (active) at one time.

2. Calibration kit (KIT): A calibration kit is an assembly of real, physical calibration standards. Calibration kits are supplied by Rohde & Schwarz as an accessory for network analyzers. The parameters of the standards in a calibration kit are stored on a floppy disk which can be r ead in via the INSTALL NEW KIT softkey. Kits for coaxial connector families usually do not contain all possible standard types of these families but only a subset comprising the types which are most frequently used in coaxial technology. Calibration kits can be user-defined as well. Using the ACT IVATE KIT softkey, the standards of a calibration kit can be selected altogether by just one keystroke.

3. Serial number (SERIAL #): All st andards of a c alibration kit are f actory-labelled with the same s erial number so they can be assigned unambiguously to this kit. The serial number helps to avoid confusion between standards of the same type from different calibration kits which might have different physical parameters.

Selecting the connector families

After pressing the CAL KITS softkey, the ACTIVE XX STANDARDS selection table is displayed, where XX denotes the connector family selected. By default, the connector family of the test se t ports is selected. T he table gives an overview of the active standards of the connector family:

• The STANDARD TYPE colum n lists all standard types which are required f or the calibration procedures of the respective type of instrument.

• The KIT column indicates to which calibra tion kit the currently selected physical standard belongs. By default, for standard types contained in the calibration kits offered by Rohde & Schwarz, the designation of the corresponding kit is also displayed. Although typical parameter values are pre- defined f or these s tandards , the individual parameters for eac h calibration kit, which are supplied on a floppy, should be read in for the sake of maximum accuracy (see INSTALL NEW KIT softkey). The predefined standards without calibration kit assignment are assumed to be ideal.

1112.8050.52 9 E-17

Firmware Version 3.52 ZVx

The cursor can be used to select the standard type the softkeys MODIFY STANDARDS and VIEW ACTIVE STD refer to.

For polarized connector families, three types exist for each two-port standard, namely male/male (MM), female/female (FF), and male/female (MF). One-port standards are provided as male (M) and female ( F). For non-polarized connectors, such as PC 7, all standards are contained only once in the table.

If a calibration method requires to measure two standards with the same polarity simultaneously, their characteristics are assumed to be identical. This applies, e.g., to the TOM-X calibration method if the OPEN BOTH PORTS measurement is performed.

The following types of standards are provided for the various types of network analyzers. Due to the restricted calibration facilities of the Z VRE, ZVCE and ZVRL c ompared to the ZVR, ZVC, ZVK and ZVM, a reduced set of standards is required only.

The SEXLESS USR CONN 1 softkey displays the table ACTIVE USER CONN 1 STANDARDS. The connector family SEXLESS USR CONN 1 which can be user-

defined is not polarized (similar to PC 7) and particularly suited for non-coaxial cable systems such as microstr ip.

The two user-defined connector f amilies SEXLESS USR CONN 1 and USR CONN 2 can also be used for waveguide calibration (refer to WAVEGUIDE softkey description). As waveguides are as a rule not polar ized, SEXLESS USR CONN 1 is to be preferred to USR CONN 2.

The name of this c onnector family (USER CONN 1 by default) can be modified via the USER CONN NAME softkey.

The USR CONN 2 softk ey displays the table ACTIVE USER CONN 2 STANDARDS. Unlike SEXLESS USR CONN 1, this us er-defined connector fam ily is polarized and therefore suited for the coaxial connectors that are not pre-defined in the CONNECTOR TYPE menu. The connector family USR CONN 2 can also be used for waveguide calibration.

All standards with the selected kit name are set active.

1112.8050.52 12 E-17

ZVx Firmware Version 3.52

Modifying the standards

The MODIFY STANDARDS softkey calls the MODIFY XX YY STANDARDS table. In the four quadrants of this table, the parameters of the four individual standards of

a single type are displayed. The type is selected in the ACTIVE XX STANDARDS table. The parameters describe the physical model of this standard type. All displayed parameters can be edited, even if the corresponding standard is currently not set. The upper five param eter s ar e available f or all s tandard types, the remaining ones depend on the kind of model applied.

If a parameter in this table is changed, an as terisk (*) is appended to the calibr ation kit name (KIT) of the corresponding standard.

ACTIVE Standard active

A checkmark in the table row ACTIVE indicates which one of the individual standards is currently active. If a definite standard type, e.g. an OPEN (F), is measured in a calibration, the calibr ation algor ithm uses the parameter s of the active individual standard of this type.

KIT Designation of the calibration k it

The calibration kit name can be entered here. It comprises a maximum of 10 characters and appears in the ACTIVE XX STANDARDS table if the standard activated.

Some softk ey functions access the calibration kit nam e as well. The standar ds with the same kit name can be activated altogether via ACTIVATE KIT. The softkey RESTORE INSTD KITS restores the original param eters of the calibration data s ets which were installed from floppy disk. LIST INST D KITS list all calibration data of a connector type installed from floppy disk.

1112.8050.52 13 E-17

Firmware Version 3.52 ZVx

An asterisk (*) as the last character of the kit name indicates that the preset values or the values installed from f loppy of one or several par ameters of the c orr es ponding individual standard were changed. If an attempt is made to enter a calibration kit name which is already present twice (e.g. once in the original f or m and once labelled as user-defined, i.e. with an asterisk), an exclamation m ark and an asterisk will be appended to the name.

SERIAL # Serial number of the standard

Besides the calibration kit name, the serial number (max. 15-digit) is a further individual attribute for the standards. It is used especially to distinguish standards from calibration k its of the same type. For the calibration kits offered by Rohde & Schwarz, the same serial number is used throughout the whole kit. This number is assigned to every single standard when the kit is installed. Standards purchased later as spare parts have another serial number of course.

MIN FREQ – minimum frequency of the standard

The sliding load, e.g., is a standard with minim um frequency since it can be used above 2 GHz only.

MAX FREQ – maximum frequency of the standard

For each standard, a max imum f requency is defined. The physical model des cribed by the subsequent parameters is valid up to this maximum frequency.

LENGTH – electrical length of the standard

The electrical length of the standar d can be entered for OPEN, SHORT, OFFSET SHORT (short with length offset) , REFLECT, THROUGH, LINE 1 and LINE 2 and SYMMETRIC NETWORK. The default unit of the electrical length is mm. For REFLECT and SYMMETRIC NETWORK, the electrical length must be specified only

if it causes a phase deviation of more than 90° from the assumed approximation (APPROX field) in the frequency range to be calibrated.

Note: For one-port standards , only the single length (length offset) is to be enter ed,

too.

LOSS – losses

The losses of the standard are entered in this field. It is assumed that they are resistive line losses whose value (in dB) inc reases proportionally with the root of the frequency due to the skin effect. T he attenuation is thus entered in units of dB/GHz. Losses are indicated only for OPEN, SHORT , OFFSET SHORT (short with length offset), THROUGH and LINE. For one-port standards, the total loss, i.e., the return loss must be entered.

1112.8050.52 14 E-17

ZVx Firmware Version 3.52

C0... C3 – polynomial coefficients for parasitic capacitance

For OPEN, as well as for REFLECT and SYMMETRIC NETWORK with APPROX = OPEN selected, the parasitic capacitance at the open end of the line can be

described by a third-order frequency polynomial. C0 denotes the constant par t, C1 to C3 the polynomial coefficients of the corresponding powers of the frequency. The

unit of the coefficient Cn is thus fF/GHz For REFLECT and SYMMETRIC NETWORK, specification of the coefficients is

required only if the latter cause a phase deviation of more than 90° from the assumed OPEN approximation in the frequency range to be calibrated.

L0... L3 – polynomial coefficients for parasitic inductance

For OPEN, as well as for REFLECT and SYMMETRIC NETWORK with APPROX = SHORT selected, the parasitic inductance can be described by a third-order

frequency polynomial. L0 denotes the constant part, L1 to L3 the polynomial coefficients of the cor responding powers of the f requency. The unit of the coef ficient

Ln is thus pH/GHz

(n=0,..., 3).

For REFLECT and SYMMETRIC NETWORK, specification of the coefficients is required only if the latter cause a phase deviation of more than 90° from the assumed SHORT approximation in the frequency range to be calibrated.

APPROX – approximate modelling

(n=0,..., 3).

VIEW

ACTIVE STD

When a reflection standard (REFLECT) or a reflection-symmetric network (SYMMETRIC NETWORK) is selected, it must be indicated, whether the unknown

reflection coefficient can be approximately modelled as a short or an open circuit. This information is required only to exclude a sign ambiguity when the reflection

coefficient is determined implicitly. If the length offset or parasitic reactances cause a rotation of the phase of the unknown reflection coefficient of more than 90 respect to the approximate phas e (0

for APPROX = OPEN, 1800 for SHORT), these

with

parameters must be specified as well.

The VIEW ACTIVE STD softkey displays the ACTIVE XX YY table, where XX denotes the connector family and YY the standard type, e.g. ACTIVE N 50 Ω OPEN (F).

This table can not be edited. It shows the parameters of the currently active individual standard of the type that was selected in the ACTIVE XX STANDARDS table. If a certain standard type, e.g. an OPEN (F) is m easured during a c alibration, the calibration algorithm uses the par am eters of the active individual s tandard of this type. For a description of the table rows refer to softkey MODIFY STANDARDS.

Firmware Version 3.52 ZVx

CREATE

INST FILE

RESTORE

INSTD KITS

The C REATE INST FILE softk ey creates an installation file for a calibration kit. This function is useful, e.g., if an updated installation file for the entire calibration kit is needed after exchange of an individual calibra tion standard, or if calibration k it data entered via MODIFY STANDARDS are to be transferred to other instruments. The SELECT KIT table shows all calibration kits of the connector type currently selected.

Once the desired kit has been selected and c onfirmed via the ENT ER key, an input field for the path and name of the installation file is displayed. The default entries correspond to the current path for SAVE / EDIT and the name of the selected calibration kit with the extension *.chk . Upon entering the name the ins tallation file is written to the specified directory.

To create an updated installation file for the entir e calibration k it after exc hanging an individual calibration standard, the file supplied with the replacement standard is installed first. During installation, only the data pertaining to this standard are overwritten in the corresponding calibration k it f ile. Af ter wards, the des ir ed f ile f or the entire kit can be created via CREATE INST FILE .

To create an installation file f or calibration kits from other manuf acturers, the data describing the different st andards is entered via MODIFY STANDARDS; the entire data is assigned to the same calibr ation kit. After wards, CREATE INST FILE is used to create the installation file.

The RESTORE INSTD KITS s oftkey resets the parameters of all standards to the values defined in the instrument firmware. Exceptions are calibration kits installed from floppy disk (or from another st orage medium) . Those are r eset to their or iginal state after the installation.

The softkey also activates the s am e standards which were active in the pr eset state. Besides that, the default values of the name and reference impedance of the connector families which can be user-defined (SEXLESS USR CONN 1 and USR CONN 2) are restored. This function is used to c ancel all user entr ies, especially the ones made by mistake.

The LIST INSTD KITS softkey displays the INSTALLED CAL KITS table. This table can not be edited. It shows all calibration k its which were installed from

floppy disk (or from another storage m edium ) or which were generated by modifying an originally installed calibration kit. Preinstalled kits or kits generated by modification of an originally preinstalled kit are not listed.

INSTALL NEW KIT

UNINSTALL

KITS

The INSTALL NEW KIT softkey allows the user to install calibration kits from a floppy disk or another storage medium.

If a floppy containing a single calibration kit file (this applies to all f loppies provided with the calibration kits from Rohde & Schwarz) is inserted into the disk drive a message window indicating the connector type and the kit designation is displayed after a short time. In this window, installation of the new kit mus t be confir med. The calibration kit is read in and a new message indicates that the installation was successfully completed.

If several calibration kit f iles (file extension *.ck) are stored on the floppy, or if no floppy is in the disk drive, the input field EDIT CAL KIT PATH is invok ed where the path and file name of the desired calibration kit file can be entered. The further procedure is as described above.

The UNINSTALL KITS softkey allows the user to delete the user- installed calibration kits for a connector family.

User-installed calibration kits are meant to include calibration kits read in from a storage medium by means of the INSTALL NEW KIT function. They do not mean to include the preinstalled kits contained in the instrument firm ware. Please note that this function deletes all user-installed calibration kits for the connector family selected in the CONNECTOR TYPE menu (e.g. PC 3.5).

To preserve particular user-installed calibration kits, they must first be saved by means of the CREATE INST FILE function.

WAVEGUIDE

The connector families SEXLESS USR CONN 1 and USR CONN 2 can also be configured for waveguide calibration by means of the WAVEGUIDE softk ey. If this softkey is activated, the instrument takes into account the nonlinear relationship between the phase of the S-parameters and the frequency, which prevails in waveguides. This effect is also known as dispersion.

At the frequency f, the transmission phase ϕ, e.g. of a THROUGH or a LINE standard of the length l, is not governed by the relationship

⋅=

but by

where f mode).

When the WAVEGUIDE softkey is activated, the CUTOFF FREQUENCY softkey for entering the cutoff frequency is available too.

The OPEN standard is unsuitable with waveguide calibration bec ause in this case it does not provide total reflection but radiates like an antenna. Therefore, if the WAVEGUIDE softkey is switched on, the OPEN standards ar e replac ed by SHORTS (for standards table see CAL CAL - CAL KITS submenu). The latter must have a length offset different from the existing SHORTS and are for this reason referred to as OFFSET SHORTS. At frequencies at which the length difference between the SHORT and the OFFSET SHO RT equals a m ultiple of λ/2, s ingularities occur since the shorts have identical reflection coefficients in this c ase. To avoid this, the length offset of the OFFSET SHORT should be s elected to obtain a length dif ferenc e of λ/4 between the SHORT and the OFFSET SHORT in the middle of the m easurement frequency range. The associated reflec tion coefficients are then exactly opposite in phase. As the frequency range is normally not larger than the single-mode range of the waveguide, i.e. max. one octave, singularities do not occur at the range limits either if the length offset is selected as described.

is the cutoff frequency of the waveguide mode used (normally the basic



The SHORT of a waveguide calibr ation kit is us ually in the form of a plate, i.e. it has no electrical length. The effects of attenuation and leakage inductance can be neglected in practice. The OFF SET SHORT is in m ost cases realized by a SHORT to which a piece of line (λ/4) (shim ) is added. The electr ical length of this added line is entered as the length offset f or the OFFSET SHORT. The eff ects of attenuation and leakage inductance can usually also be neglected for the OFFSET SHORT.

Note: The calibration.

CUTOFF

FREQUENCY

1112.8050.52 18 E-17

The CUTOFF FREQUENCY softkey opens an input field for entering the cutoff frequency for the waveguide mode for which calibration is to be made. This is usually the basic mode of the waveguide.

The waveguide mode cannot propagate below the cutoff frequency, which means that system error correction is not possible below this point. The cutoff frequency, therefore, represents the minimum start f requency for measurem ent and calibration. If the start frequency of the calibration range is lower than the entered cutoff frequency (e.g. after a PRESET), an error message is output.

/4 line can also be used as a LINE standard, for example for TRL

USER CONN

NAME

USER CONN IMPEDANCE

The USER CONN NAME softkey activates the entry of a name comprising up to 11 characters for the connec tor families SEXLESS USR CONN 1 and USR CONN 2. The name refer s to the fam ily selected in the CONNECTOR TYPE menu. In the title of the tables ACTIVE XX STANDARDS, MODIFY XX YY STANDARDS and ACTIVE XX YY, it replaces the character str ing XX. The name of the cor responding sof tkeys in the CONNECTOR TYPE submenu, however, can not be overwritten.

The default names are USER CONN 1 and USER CONN 2.

The USER CONN IMPEDANCE softkey activates the entry of the reference impedance for the connector SEXLESS USR CONN 1 or USR CONN 2. The impedance refers to the family selected in the CONNECTOR TYPE menu. The default value is 50 Ω.

Note: Only a constant reference impedance can be entered v ia this softkey. While the characteristic impedance of a waveguide is highly frequency-dependent, the conversion of reflection coefficients to impedances or the calculation of Z parameters in the waveguide are irrelevant in practice.

Firmware Version 3.52 ZVx

6 Special Features

The format of the system error calibrat ion (SFK) files and the calibration kit (CalKit) files was changed for version 3.50. The files from older firm ware versions are therefore converted to the new

data format. The change concerns files with the extension "CAC", "CA1" to "CA4", "CK", "CKD" and "DAT". The old files are not deleted but r enamed, i.e. an additional ex tens ion – ".BC350" – is appended. For example, "FACTORY.CAC" is renamed to "FACTORY.CAC.BC350".

Note:

There is no conversion if version 3.50 is updated to version 3.52.

The new data format cannot be processed by older firmware versions.

The following procedure should be adopted, therefore, when restoring a previous firmware version (e.g. V 3.40):

½ Restore the old firmware version as usual by means of SETUP → FIRMWARE UPDATE →

RESTORE.

½ Terminate the firmware. ½ In the Explorer, change to the "C:\R_S\INSTR\CAL" directory. ½ Each file for which a file of identical name but with the additional extension ".BC350" exists,

must be renamed, for example by appending the additional extension ".V350". For example, "N50.CKD" must be renamed to "N50.CKD.V350".

Note: If a file with the name "CK_INST.DAT" exists, it must in any case be renamed to "CK_INST.DAT.V350“, no matter whether or not a file "CK_INST.DAT.BC350" exists.

½ All files with the additional extension ".BC350" must be renamed, i.e. the extension has to be

removed. For example, "N50.CKD.BC350" has to be renamed to "N50.CKD".

½ Start the firmware by means of START → START INSTRUMENT.

The SFK and CalKit files that were available prior to the update to vers ion 3.50 or 3.52 are now fully available again. New files added through the version 3.50 or 3.52 update cannot be used however.

As an alternative to the above procedure, the com plete "C:\R_S\INSTR\CAL" directory can be saved, for example under "C:\R_S\INSTR\CAL.BC350", before the update to version 3.50 or 3.52 is made. After restoring the old firmware version, this directory must be renamed to "C:\R_S\INSTR\CAL".

Important Note:

Before turning the instrument on, it must be observed that the following conditions are fulfilled:

• instrument covers are in place and all fasteners are tightened,

• fan openings are free from obstructions,

• signal levels at the input connectors are all within specified maximums,

• signal outputs are correctly connected.and not overloaded.

Non-observance may cause damage to the instrument .

1.3.1 Unpacking the Instrument

After the instrument has been removed from its packaging, please insure that all deliverable items are present as follows:

• Vector network analyzer (ZVR, ZVRE, ZVRL, ZVC, ZVCE, ZVM or ZVK)

• AC power cable, keyboard, mouse

• Operating manual

Now check the instrument for visible mechanical damage. If damage is present, promptly inform the delivery firm that delivered the instrument. In case damage is found, retain the c arton and the packing materials.

Equipment returned or sent in for repair must be packed in the original packing or in packing with electrostatic protection.

1.3.2 Instrument Setup

1.3.2.1 Stand-alone Operation

The network analyzer is designed for use under general laborator y conditions. The ambient conditions required at the operational site are as follows:

• The ambient temperature must be in the range of + 5 ... + 45 °C.

Wrist strap with cord

In order to prevent electromagnetic interfer ence (EMI), the instrument may be operated only when all covers are correctly in place. Only adequately shielded signal and control cables may be used (see recommended accessories).

1.3.4 Connecting to AC Power

The network analyzer is equipped with an AC voltage selection feature and will automatically set itself according to the applied AC voltage (range: 90 V to 132 V(AC) and 180 V to 265 V(AC), 47 Hz to 440 Hz). The AC power connector is located on the rear panel (see below).

½ Connect the network analyzer to the AC power source using the AC power cable delivered with the

instrument.

1.3.5 AC Power Line Fuses

The network analyzer is protected by two fuses as specified on the power supply name-plate. The fuses are located in a removable fuse holder which is located between the AC power switch and the AC power connector (see below).

1.3.6 Battery-Powered Memory

The network analyzer is equipped with a battery-powered read/write memory (CMOS-RAM) where instrument settings are saved at power-of f. After each power-on, the network analyzer is reloaded with the operational parameters which were active jus t prior to the last power-off (ST ANDBY or AC power OFF).

A lithium battery is used to supply power to the CMOS-RAM. When the battery is depleted (expec ted lif e is approx. 5 years), any data stored in CMOS-RAM will be lost. In this case, the factory standard setup is loaded at turn-on. Changing batteries requires opening of the instrument and is described in the s ervice manual.

ZVx Controller Function

1.4 Controller Function

Caution:

- The drivers used in the integr ated controller function are adapted to the measur ing instrument. Only the settings descr ibed below should be resorted to. The existing driver software should be modified only with the update software released by Rohde&Schwarz.

- Do not power down during booting. Such a switch-off may lead to corruption of the hard disk files.

The instrument possesses an integrated Windows-NT controller. The user can switch between the measurement screen and the controller screen. When an external monitor is connected, the measurement function and the controller function can be displayed simultaneously (see section "Connecting an External Monitor"). The controller func tion is automatic ally booted on instrument powerup. Windows NT operation is described in the supplied manual or in the online help of Windows NT.

Windows NT requires a login window in which the user is ask ed to identif y himself by entering his nam e and password. An autologin comes as standard in the instrument, ie the login is performed automatically in the background. The user name used for this is "ins tr ument" and the password is also "instrument" (in small letters).

To login under another name, call up the logout window in the task bar with START - SHUT DOWN. Mark the item "Close all pr ograms and log on as a differ ent user?" in the window and click YES while holding the SHIFT key down until the login window is displayed to enter the user identification. The password should be entered in the correct syntax including low-case and upper-case characters.

Administrator identification

Some of the installations (eg CD- ROM drive) desc ribed below are possible only under the adm inistr ator login. This is indicated in the relevant window. The administrator is an identification prescribed by Windows NT which in particular allows system settings which are disabled for the standard user.

The password for the administrator is 894129 for the instrument. After an installation under the administrator identification, the "Servic e Pack X" of W indows NT is to be

re-installed, see section "Installation of Windows NT Software". On the power-up following an installation under the adm inistrator identification, the NT login window is displayed (no autologin). The user name "Adm inistrator" is indicated in the window. This entry is to be replaced by "instrument" and then "instrument" as password entered. An autologin is then possible.

Changeover between measurement screen and controller screen

To call up the controller screen use key combination <ALT><SYSREQ> (US keyboard). To return to the measur ement screen, activate the window "Rohde & Schwarz ZVR NT Interf ac e" on the controller.

Logout

The instrument can be switched off (standby mode). Logging out of Windows NT is not necessary.
