Quick Start Configuration, Setup, and Testing
Use the following procedures to quickly prepare for all measurements by utilizing the built‑in features of the instrument and the software.
Quick Start in All Modes
Antenna Setup
1. Attach the antenna to the Spectrum Analyzer RF In connector (refer to the User Guide for your instrument for connector identification and location).
2. Configure the instrument antenna:
a. Press the Meas Selection main menu key.
b. Press the Field Strength submenu key in the Meas Selection (1/2) menu.
c. Press the Meas Setup main menu key to open the Meas Setup menu.
d. Press the Antenna (Correction Level) submenu key to open the Select Antenna list box (refer to Figure: Select Antenna List Box).
e. Scroll through to the desired Anritsu antenna model number by using the Up/Down arrow keys or the rotary knob. Highlight the antenna model number, and then press Enter.
Select Antenna List Box
You can use Master Software Tools (MST) to update your antenna and coaxial cable lists. For directions about updating these lists, refer to the Master Software Tools documentation (available from www.anritsu.com).
Frequency and Reference Level Configurations
1. Press the Frequency/Level main menu key.
2. Configure the following parameters: Channel / Frequency, Bandwidth, Auto Reference Level, Reference Level, Pre Amp, and One‑Seg.
a. Press the Channel Map submenu key to open the Select Channel Map list box.
b. Select one of the available choices, then press the Enter button.
If you selected UHF or UHF (Brazil), then press the Channel submenu key, scroll through to the desired channel, highlight it, and press Enter. Continue at Step 4.
If you selected IF, then the frequency is automatically set to 37.150000 MHz. Continue at Step 4.
If you selected None, then continue at Step 2 c to configure the Frequency.
c. Press the Frequency submenu key to open the Frequency Editor dialog box. The menu changes to Units (Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz). The available frequency range step increments are displayed in the dialog box.
d. Scroll through to a desired frequency by using the Up/Down arrow keys or the rotary knob, and then press Enter. You can also type the frequency by using the number keypad and then pressing one of the submenu keys in the Units menu. Pressing the Enter key is the same as pressing the MHz submenu key. The frequency can be set from 35 MHz to 806 MHz.
3. Press the Bandwidth submenu key and select the desired bandwidth frequency, 6 MHz or 8 MHz. Note that the 8 MHz bandwidth should be selected only when Channel Map is set to None. It can be selected for the Field Strength, Modulation Analysis, and Spectrum Monitor measurements in the Custom setup procedure.
4. Press the Auto Reference Level submenu key to have the instrument set an optimum Reference level. To manually set a reference level, go to Step 5.
5. Press the Reference Level submenu key to open the Reference Level Editor dialog box.
Scroll through to the desired dBm level by using the Up/Down arrow keys or the rotary knob, and then press Enter. The dB increments vary depending upon the use of Pre Amp.
6. Press the Pre Amp submenu key to toggle the selection to the desired state, On or Off. The current state is underlined. Refer to the input level Warning.
7. Press the One‑Seg submenu key to toggle the selection to the desired state, On or Off. When this submenu key is toggled to On, the frequency response measurement is displayed for the center segment (the center channel of the 13 chosen channels). Refer to Figure: Modulation Analysis of Delay Profile, One‑Segment. Note that the One‑Seg feature may be selected only when the Bandwidth is set to 6 MHz. It is used for Field Strength, Modulation Analysis, BER, or Spectrum Monitor measurements.
