Click Yes in answer to the displayed question in the Restart Analyzer? box. 7. When the installation is complete, click Exit. Option Verification Procedure Once the analyzer has restarted and the Network Analyzer program is again running: 1. On the analyzer’s Help menu, click About Network Analyzer. 2. Verify that “401” is listed after “Options:” in the display. Click OK. NOTE If Option 401 has not been enabled, perform the ”Option Enable Procedure” again. If the option is still not enabled, contact Keysight Technologies. Refer to “Getting Assistance from Keysight” on page 3. System Service Option Enable

Step 16. Perform Post-Upgrade Adjustments and Calibration Adjustments The following adjustments must be made due to the hardware changes of the analyzer. • source adjustment • receiver adjustment These adjustments are described in the PNA Service Guide and in the PNA on-line HELP. A list of equipment required to perform these adjustments is also found in the service guide. To view this service guide information, click the Chapter 3 bookmark “Tests and Adjustments” in the PDF Service Guide1. After the specified adjustments have been performed, the analyzer should operate and phase lock over its entire frequency range. Operator’s Check Perform the Operator’s Check to check the basic functionality of the analyzer. For instructions, click the Chapter 3 bookmark “Tests and Adjustments” in the PDF Service Guide1. If you experience difficulty with the basic functioning of the analyzer, contact Keysight. Refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 3. Calibration Although the analyzer functions, its performance relative to its specifications has not been verified. It is recommended that a full instrument calibration be performed using the analyzer’s internal performance test software. To view information on the performance test software, click the Chapter 3 bookmark “Tests and Adjustments” in the PDF Service Guide1. Step 17. Prepare the PNA for the User 1. If necessary, reinstall front jumper cables. 2. Install the cable guards, pushing them over the front jumper cables until the cushioning material touches the front panel of the PNA. 3. Install the dust caps on the test ports. 4. Clean the analyzer, as needed, using a damp cloth. 1. See “Downloading the Online PNA Service Guide” on page 5.
