Storage

Internal hard disk drive

Store and recall binary instrument states and
calibration data on 10-GB, minimum, internal hard
drive. Instrument data can also be saved in ASCII
(including S2P) format. All files are MS-DOS®-
compatible. Instrument states include all control
settings, active limit lines, active list frequency
tables, memory trace data.

Disk drive

Instrument data, instrument states, and calibration
data can be stored on internal 3.5-in, 1.4-MB floppy
disk in MS-DOS-compatible format.

Data hardcopy

Printouts of instrument data are directly produced
on any printer with the appropriate Windows®
2000 printer driver. The analyzer provides USB,
Centronics (parallel), serial and LAN interfaces.

System capabilities

Familiar graphical user interface

The PNA employs a graphical user interface based
on Windows 2000. There are two fundamental ways
to operate the instrument manually: you can use a
hardkey interface, or use drop-down menus driven
from a mouse (or another standard USB pointing
device). Hardkey navigation brings up active tool-
bars that perform most of the operations required
to configure and view measurements. Front-panel
navigation keys allow for use of the instrument
without a mouse. In addition, mouse-driven pull-
down menus provide easy access to both standard
and advanced features. Both methods employ dialog
boxes to display all the choices needed to make
measurement set-ups.

Built-in information system

Embedded documentation provides measurement
assistance in five different languages (English,
French, German, Japanese, and Spanish). A
thorough index of help topics and context-sensitive
help available from dialog boxes.

Limit lines

Define test limit lines that appear on the display
for go/no go testing. Lines may be any combination
of horizontal, sloping lines, or discrete data points.
