MN469xC Series Multiport Test Set

This quick start guide provides a brief overview of the MN469xC Multiport VNA System assembly. For

important safety and compliance information and for more details about the assembly, configuration, setup,

and initial equipment test, refer to the VectorStar™ MN469xC Series Multiport VNA Test Set Installation

Guide, PN: 10410-00728, found on the CD-ROM or at the Anritsu web site (www.anritsu.com).

1. Preparation

1. If mounting on a workbench surface, first position the MN469xC Multiport Test Set with access to its

front and rear panels. Place the VNA on top.

2. If mounting into rack or console, make sure the Test Set has been installed, and that the rack/console is

carefully positioned on a flat and level surface. If equipped, make sure any casters are locked. Use two

people to lift the VNA unit and two to guide it into its shelf rails.

Caution An MS464xA/B VNA unit is heavy. To avoid personal injury, it must be lifted and

maneuvered by at least two people during installation.

The test loops on the front and rear panels of the VNA are delicate. Be careful not to

bump or bend the test loops.

2. System Connections

VectorStar MN469xC QSG PN: 10410-00738 Rev. C QSG-3

2. System Connections

The figure below shows the front panel connections between the Test Set and VNA. Make the semi-rigid cable

connections as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, and in Table 1.

Front Panel Connections

1. Place the VNA on top of the Test Set as shown in Figure 1.

2. Disconnect the front panel RF cable loops from ports that will be connected to the test set.

3. Use the eight provided RF (K or V) male-to-male cables, or other semi-rigid or phase stable male-to-male

RF cables to make the connections as shown in Figure 1 and in Table 1.

Note Before installing the test set in its operating environment, ensure that the airflow hole pattern at the

right side of the instrument is clear. This is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for the test set.

Note

When front panel loops on a VectorStar MS464xA/B are removed and then reinstalled for any

reason, ensure they are returned to their original locations. If they are reconnected to locations other

than their original, this can affect the VNA factory calibration. If the loop locations are forgotten and

the calibration has been compromised, refer to the VectorStar Maintenance Manual for instructions

on performing a new factory RF calibration.

VectorStar MN469xC QSG PN: 10410-00738 Rev. C QSG-7

3. Rear Panel DIP Switch GPIB Address Setting

The MN469xC Series Test Set GPIB address must match the GPIB address set on the VNA and is set on the

Test Set by rear panel DIP switches. The factory default GPIB address is 16 (where Switch 1 = ON or up and all

other switches OFF or down). The GPIB address on the VNA can be verified by navigating to the REMOTE

INTER menu and the Multiport Test Set button.

•Navigation: Main Menu | System | Remote Interface | REMOTE INTER | Multiport Test Set.

4. Power Up Sequence

1. Make sure all of the cables are properly installed as illustrated in the previous sections.

2. Turn on the Test Set prior to launching the VNA application on the VNA. The VNA can be powered on,

but the application must be off.

3. Once the Test Set is on, launch the VNA application. During the launch sequence, the VNA application

recognizes the Test Set on the GPIB bus and is configured for 4-port mode. If the VNA application is

powered up and launched before the test set, the VNA application will stay in 2-port mode and only

2-port mode features and functions will be available.

4. If the 4-port functions fail to appear, exit the VNA application by selecting File | Exit from the VectorStar

Menu Bar and then clicking Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

•Navigation: MENU BAR | File | FILE Drop-Down Menu | Exit Command

5. After the Windows desktop appears, launch the VNA application by doing one of the following:

a. On the desktop, click the VectorStar icon. If the VNA was running in 100,000 point mode, the icon

is annotated with “100K”.

b. If running in 25,000 point mode, select Start | All Programs | VectorStar | VectorStar.

c. If running in 100,000 point mode, select Start | All Programs | VectorStar_100K | VectorStar.

Figure 3. MN469xC DIP Switches (factory setting)

Note The VNA GPIB connection must be made to the VNA Dedicated GPIB connector and NOT to the

VNA IEEE-488.2 GPIB connector.

Note

The VNA application must be started after the Test Set is connected and powered up. If the VNA

application is started before the Test Set, the VNA will remain in 2-port mode and the 4-port functions

will not be available. If this happens, exit the VNA application, make sure the Test Set is powered up,

and launch the VNA application.
