Introduction
This chapter provides information for the initial
inspection and preparation for use of the ShockLine MS46122A/B Series VNA and includes information on instrument
installation, loading ShockLine Software, required operating
environment, power requirements, and initial inspection. After power up, the various power modes are described
with general warm-up and calibration time intervals. The preventive maintenance section includes information on cleaning along with preparation for storage or shipment.
Unpacking the Product
Initial
Inspection
Inspect the shipping container
for damage. If the container
or cushioning material
is damaged, retain until the contents of the shipment
have been checked against the packing list and the instrument has been checked
for mechanical and electrical operation. If the ShockLine MS46122A/B Series VNA is physically damaged, notify your local sales representative or Anritsu Customer
Service. If either the shipping
container is damaged or the cushioning material
shows signs of stress, notify the carrier
as well as Anritsu. Keep the shipping
materials for the carrier’s inspection.
Preparation for Use
The ShockLine MS46122A/B Series VNA requires software installation. To interface with the instrument through direct manual control, a PC running
Windows 7 or higher with keyboard, mouse, monitor or touchscreen, ShockLine
software, and interfacing USB cable are required.
Operating Environment and Power Requirements
Before installing the ShockLine MS46122A/B Series VNA
in its operating environment,
ensure airflow passages around the instrument are clear. Proper
ventilation is of particular importance whenever the unit is being rack mounted.
