Boonton 4500B RF Peak Power Analyzer
Getting Started 3-13
Caution
When selecting a sensor for an exercise or a measurement, be sure you know the power range of the sensor.
Extended operation beyond the sensor‘s specified upper power limit may result in permanent change of
characteristics or burnout.
2. Connect the sensor to the sensor cable by aligning the red mark on each part and pressing the connectors together
firmly.
3. Connect the sensor cable to the Channel 1 input (holding the red mark UP).
When the sensor is connected, the instrument will download the factory installed calibration data from the sensor
memory. While the download is in process, the message ―CH 1 Sensor Data Loading‖ will appear on the display. If
the sensor is disconnected during the download, either the ―Sensor Data Error‖ or ―I2C Error‖ message will appear.
When this occurs, (press CLR) to clear the error; reconnect the sensor.
In general, when any sensor error message occurs, disconnect and reconnect the sensor and press CLR. If the
message persists, refer the problem to Boonton Electronics for technical support.
Note The INIT key does not affect parameters selected for the GPIB Bus, RS-232, display colors, or the printer
configurations. It does not affect stored waveforms, setups or calibrations.
4 . Press the INIT function key to initialize the operating parameters listed in Table 3-3. This table represents all the
parameters that are affected by initialization. This table lists the value or the option to which the function will be
assigned after initialization.
