Communication system maintenance and repair often require a technician to trouble-

shoot in bright daylight or in the darkness of night. The light sensor on the front panel of

the N934xC HSA senses the ambient light and automatically adjusts the brightness of

the display and the back-lit keys.

The user can also manually set the brightness of the display, and the brightness of the

back-lit keys, so they can be seen clearly even in any light. The duration of the key light is

settable to provide maximum battery life.

1.1 Adjust the display brightness

Instructions for HSA Keystrokes for HSA

Switch the screen brightness state from automatic to manual [Shift], [System], {Screen Setting}, {Brightness (Man)}

Rotate the knob to adjust the display brightness

Switch the screen brightness state back to automatic {Brightness (Auto)}

Cover the light sensor with your nger and watch as the display bright-

ness adjusts automatically

1.2 Back-lit key demo

Instructions for HSA Keystrokes for HSA

Turn on key backlight [Shift], [System], {Keypad Setting}, {Backlight Brightness}, {Auto}

Adjust backlight ash time to 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds, or “always on” {Backlight off}, {15 s}

The key measurement setup parameters of a spectrum analyzer are:

– Frequency

Adjust the frequency range measured

– Span

Adjust how closely you look at the signal

– Amplitude

Adjust the view of the signal’s level

A typical spectrum analyzer measurement procedure contains the following three steps:

1. Tune the center frequency of the analyzer to the signal of interest.

2. Adjust the span to zoom in on the signal of interest.

3. Adjust the amplitude to give the optimum view of the signal.

In this demonstration, we will set signal generator to output a signal to N934xC HSA with

an RF cable and set these parameters.

Instructions for the source Keystrokes for the source

Set 2 GHz center frequency, amplitude -10 dBm, CW signal [Preset], [FREQ], [2], {GHz}, [AMPTD], [-10], {dBm}, [RF On]

Instructions for HSA Keystrokes for HSA

Tune the center frequency to 2 GHz [Freq], [2], {GHz}

Adjust span so signal lls the screen [Span], [10], {MHz}

Set reference level to

-10 dBm so that the signal peak is at the top of graticule line (Figure 2)

[Amptd], {Ref Level}, [-10], {dBm}

Save, recall, and the unique User key

Instructions for the source Keystrokes for the source

Set 2-GHz center frequency, amplitude -10 dBm, W-CDMA signal [Preset], [Freq], [2], {GHz}, [Amplitude], [-10], {dBm}, [Mode], {W-CDMA}, {Arb

W-CDMA (3GPP 12-2004}, {W-CDMA (On)}, [Mod On], [RF On]

Instructions for HSA Keystrokes for HSA

Preset N934xC HSA [Preset]

Select internal C:/USER/STATE folder

Note: For the user key feature, the STA le must be placed under the

USER/STATE directory

[Shift], [File], rotate the knob to select the USER folder, [Enter], rotate the

knob to select the STATE folder, [Enter], {Return}

You may have to create the USER and STATE directory folders [Shift], [File], {Directory}, {Create Folder}

Set QSave le type [Shift], [File], {Setup}, {QSave Type}, {STA}

Turn on QSave naming {QSave Naming (On)}, {Return}

Set center frequency and span [Freq], {Center Freq}, [2], {GHz}, [Span], [10], {MHz}

Turn on channel power [Meas], {Channel Power}

Set integrated BW {Integrated BW}, [5], {MHz}

Save le [Shift], [Save], input the le name [WCDMA_CHP] in the “Save As” dialog box

and press [Enter]

Turn on OBW [Meas], [Meas], {Occupied BW}

Save le [Shift], [Save], input the le name [WCDMA_OBW] in the “Save As” dialog box,

[Enter]

Preset N934xC HSA [Preset]

Use the User key

(As shown in Figure 17, channel power and OBW’s state le name appears

on the soft key button)

[Shift], [User]

Make measurement with User key

Channel power {WCDMA_CHP}

Figure 3. USER key

The N934xC HSAs let you save the state, trace data, measurement

results (peak and marker table), limit lines, and screen captures to an

internal le, a USB drive, or remotely via LAN or USB.

The N934xC HSAs provide a dedicated Save button to let you save a

le quickly with a single button press. When the Save button is used,

you can choose to name the le by yourself, or let the HSA automati-

cally pick a le name that consists of a prex (N934xC is the default

but can be edited) and a index.

Another unique feature on the N934xC HSAs is the User key, which

provides a quick way to set up the instrument. You can select from

7 predened instrument setups with a single button push.

Figure 4. GPS information

Instructions for HSA Keystrokes for HSA

In order to receive a GPS signal, you need to move to an open space to

use the internal GPS antenna, or connect an external GPS antenna (option

GPA) to the HSA and make sure the head of the external GPS antenna is in

an open space.

Turn on GPS [Shift], [System], {More 1 of 2}, {GPS}, {GPS, (On)}

A icon will appear at the top of the display after successful lock of GPS

satellites

Turn on GPS information on the display {GPS Info, (On)}

Location information from GPS displays on the right of icon (Figure 3)

Note: The N934xC must have an unobstructed view of the sky in order to lock onto GPS satellites.

The HSA has a built-in GPS receiver and antenna (Option GPS). In addition to the internal

antenna, the HSA also supports the external GPS antenna (Option GPA), providing

convenience in the eld. You can save measurement results with GPS location data

(latitude, longitude, and altitude).

In this demonstration, we will show how to use the N934xC HSA`s GPS feature.
