Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container is damaged, retain it until the contents of the shipment have been checked against the packing list checked for mechanical and electrical operation.
Calibration and Verification
The power meter comes fully calibrated from the factory and there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. If the contents should need to be returned, see Preparation for Storage/Shipment.
Connections
Sensor connections
Compatible sensors can be connected to any of the USB ports on the front or rear panel. However, the base ML2439A model only permits two sensors to be active at any one time. With the ML2439A-004 Option, four sensors can be active at any one time. Sensors become active when plugged into a USB port or immediately if already plugged in when the ML2439A powers up.
Triggered connections
Most triggered applications can use the RF signal applied to the sensors for triggering. For measurements requiring external triggering, connect the external trigger signal to the Trig In BNC connector on the rear panel and connect a Sync cable from the Sync connector on the meter to the Multi I/O port on the sensor.
Note
The Sync cable must be connected to the Sync port corresponding to the USB port for the sensor channel in use.
Remote connections
Connect the instrument to the BUS using the rear panel GPIB connector and cable. For Ethernet control, connect to the rear panel LAN connector. In most cases, it will be necessary to configure the interface using the System > I/O Config.
