For Safety
Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations at
which the alert mark, shown on the left, is attached. If the operation,
etc., is performed without heeding the advice in the operation
manual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment
performance may be reduced. Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes
used with other marks and descriptions indicating other dangers.
Warning
When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory
3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded
3-pin outlet is not available, use a conversion adapter and ground the
green wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the
equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the
equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to

remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal
Warning components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of
electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.
There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of
severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In
addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive

circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices
are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front
and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument
Caution and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband.
Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge
by touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before
touching the instrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors.
Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are
properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static
discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic
discharge is not covered under warranty.

1-9 Spectrum Master Specifications

Refer to the Spectrum Master Technical Data Sheet (P/N 11410-00511) for general
specifications, detailed measurement specifications for all available measurement modes,
ordering information, power sensors, and available accessories. The data sheet is included
with the instrument and also available on the Anritsu website: http://us.anritsu.com.
1-10 Preventive Maintenance

Spectrum Master preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connectors on the instrument and all accessories. Clean the Spectrum Master
with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.
Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

1-12 ESD Caution General Information
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alcohol.
Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the N(m)
connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether the
connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct.
Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance,
and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.
1-11 Calibration and Verification

Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Spectrum
Master by local Anritsu service centers. The Spectrum Master is self-calibrating and there
are no field-adjustable components. Contact information for Anritsu Service Centers is
available at: http://www.anritsu.com/Contact.asp
1-12 ESD Caution

The Spectrum Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which
(if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the Spectrum Master without discharging
the static charge) may damage the Spectrum Master input circuitry. Spectrum Master
operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625
(EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices,
equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the Spectrum Master, it is recommended
that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or
antennas to the Spectrum Master. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or
load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the Spectrum Master. It is important
to remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage.
Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe environment for
both personnel and equipment.
1-13 Battery Replacement

The battery can be replaced without the use of tools. The battery compartment is located on
the lower left side of the instrument (when you are facing the measurement display). To

Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-3 Ethernet Configuration on the Spectrum Master
7-3 Ethernet Configuration on the Spectrum Master
LAN Connection
The RJ-45 connector is used to connect the Spectrum Master to a local area network.
Integrated into this connector are two LEDs. The amber LED shows the status of the
Ethernet Link: Link Up (On) or Link Down (Off). The green LED flashes to show that LAN
traffic is present. The instrument IP address is set by pressing the Shift key, then the
System (8) key followed by the System Options soft key and the Ethernet Config soft key. The
instrument Ethernet address can be set automatically using DHCP, or manually by entering
the desired IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.
An active Ethernet cable must be connected to the instrument before it is turned

ON in order to enable the Ethernet port for DHCP or for a static IP address.
Depending upon local conditions, the port may remain enabled when changing
Note from DHCP to static IP address, when changing from static IP address to DHCP,
or when temporarily disconnecting the Ethernet cable.
If the port becomes disabled, ensure that an active Ethernet cable is attached to
the instrument before cycling the power OFF and back ON.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol that automates the
process of setting IP addresses for devices that use TCP/IP, and is the most common method
of configuring a device for network use. To determine if a network is set up for DHCP, connect
the MS2712E and MS2713E to the network and select DHCP protocol in the Ethernet Config
menu.
Turn the Spectrum Master off, and then on. If the network is set up for DHCP, the assigned
IP address should be displayed briefly after the power up sequence.

Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-4 DHCP
7-4 DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol that allows a server to
dynamically assign IP addresses to devices that are connected to the network. Most networks
include a DHCP server to manage IP addresses. When a DHCP server is available on the
network, DHCP is the preferred IP address assignment mode.
When using DHCP, no setup is required to lease and use a dynamic IP address. In a dynamic
IP operation, the IP address in use may change from use to use. The DHCP server hands out
IP addresses on a first come, first served basis. As soon as the device is disconnected from the
network, the IP address that it was using becomes available to lease to the next unit that
requests an IP address. Normally, some amount of lag time is present on the DHCP server
end, so if the device is connected again reasonably soon, then it may end up with the same
address.
The instrument must be connected to the network before it is turned on in order for
Note DHCP to function. Key elements of the DHCP lease are performed only during the
instrument startup operations, or when switching from manual to DHCP
When a DHCP server is not available, a Static IP address can be used. A Static IP address is
a fixed address. After being set, it will always remain the same, and care must be taken to not
conflict with other equipment on the network.
When using a static IP address on an established network, always request the Static IP
address from the network administrator. Randomly choosing a Static IP address on an
established network may result in duplicate IP addresses or other conflicts.
Three parameters must be set prior to using a Static IP address:
IP Address
This is the Static IP address on the network.
Default Gateway
Often when a static IP address is assigned, a default gateway is also identified. If the
default gateway is unknown, then type in the Static IP address so that the Static IP
address and Default Gateway are the same number.
Subnet Mask
This parameter is usually extracted from the Static IP address based on the class of the
address and determines the destination of any broadcast messages that might be sent
from the instrument. It can be customized if necessary. The subnet mask may also be
provided with the Static IP address.

7-5 ipconfig Tool Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411)
Example 1
In this example, a Static IP address has been chosen because no network DHCP service is
available. The instrument is connected to the network port on the PC with a crossover
Ethernet cable (not included). This is also referred to as Direct Connect:
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Example 2
In this example, the Static IP address has been assigned with an associated gateway and
subnet mask:
IP Address: 153.56.100.42
Default Gateway: 153.56.100.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
7-5 ipconfig Tool

A few tools that are built into the Microsoft Windows operating system can assist in making
some determinations about the network to which the PC is connected. Typing ipconfig at a
command prompt produces a display of information about the in-use parameters of the PC
and its network connection. Following is an example of the typical results expected:
The ipconfig display does not report whether the information is from a DHCP
Note
server or from a Static IP setup.

Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-6 Ping Tool
7-6 Ping Tool

Another tool that can find out if a selected IP address is already on the network is ping. Ping
is a harmless way to determine if an address is found on the network, and (if it is found) to
receive a reply. Basically, the ping function sends out a request to a specific address to
determine if a computing device is connected to the network at that address. If a valid
connection is found, then a copy of the signal (that was sent) is returned. If a connection is not
found, then the response is “request timed out”, which means that no reply was received from
that IP address.

Chapter 8 — Bias Tee (Option 10)
8-1 Overview
Option 10 provides a bias tee that is installed inside the instrument. The bias arm is
connected to a 12 VDC to 32 VDC power source that can be turned on as needed to place the
voltage on the center conductor of the instrument’s RF In port. This supply of bias implies it is
mostly useful when conducting two-port transmission measurements. This voltage can be
used to provide power to block down converters in satellite receivers and can also be used to
power some tower mounted amplifiers.
The bias can be turned on only when the instrument is in transmission measurement,
channel scanner, interference analyzer, or spectrum analyzer mode. When bias is turned on,
the bias voltage and current are displayed in the lower left corner of the display. The 12 VDC
to 32 VDC power supply is designed to continuously deliver a maximum of 6 watts.
The bias tee menu can be accessed from the applications options menu and in transmission
measurement, it can also be accessed from the Measure main menu.

Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-5 Why use Line Sweep Tools?
9-5 Why use Line Sweep Tools?

Line Sweep Tools is a program designed to increase productivity for people who work with
dozens of Cable traces, Antenna traces, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) traces every day.
Line Sweep Tools will:
• Collect sweeps from Anritsu PIM and Line Sweep gear.
• Help verify that those sweeps are done properly and that the Cable, Antenna and PIM
sweeps meet specifications.
• Help create reports of the findings quickly and to a professional standard.
Line Sweep Tools Features

The Line Sweep Tools user interface is familiar to users of Hand Held Software Tools, the
current industry standard line sweep post-capture trace processing software. This leads to a
short learning curve and easy trace collection, validation, and reporting.
Anritsu’s Line Sweep Tools program includes:
• Presets for markers and limit lines take hours off the report preparation time for a user
with dozens of traces to verify.
• The Report Generator which makes generating PDF reports for multiple traces, with
logos, quick and easy.
• Dual Trace viewing mode ensures compatibility with the E series line sweep
instruments.
• A naming grid makes renaming files, titles, and subtitles much quicker and error free.
• Line Sweep Tools can open DAT or VNA files from a wide range of current and
supported Anritsu hand-held instruments.
• Line Sweep Tools can open the PIM files generated by Passive Inter-Modulation
measurements.

9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools

Like its predecessor, Hand Held Software Tools (HHST), Line Sweep Tools is intuitive for
most users. However, unlike HHST, Line Sweep Tools has the capability to work rapidly with
a large number of traces.
Figure 9-4. Line Sweep Tools Window
Line Sweep Tools can open DAT files from HHST; or VNA/DAT files from Anritsu’s E-series
instruments. It also can open PIM files. Either way, the file once opened, can be inspected and
modified in many different ways. Line Sweep Tools saves files as a new type of DAT file, and
can export traces as VNA, text, JPG, BMP, or PNG. Line Sweep Tools does not produce files
that can be opened by HHST.
Markers and Limit Lines

The easiest way to manage markers is to turn one on and use the mouse to drag it to the
desired position. The marker tool bar is shown in Figure 9-5. Marker number 1 is On in the
figure below. Markers can be set to an exact value by pressing the “e” button, which displays
detailed marker controls, numeric value entry, peak find, and valley find.
Figure 9-5. Limit Toolbar and Marker Toolbar
The dark button on the left turns on the limit line. Once on, it can be dragged to the desired
place, or put on an exact y-axis value by entering a number.

Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools
Marker Presets
The fastest way to manage markers on multiple traces is to use the preset function. The
marker and limit line preset toolbar allows users to quickly set all markers and the limit line
to pre-defined values on similar traces (Figure 9-6).
Figure 9-6. Preset Toolbar
First set the markers and limit lines on a typical trace to the desired values. Then, press the
red “e” or edit button on the Preset toolbar. This puts the preset buttons into “learn” mode.
Now, press a preset button (1 to 7). This programs the preset button where to put the markers
and limit lines. Finally, press the red “e” button again to exit the learn mode.
The programmed button is now enabled. Line Sweep Tools can program up to 7 buttons with
preset markers and limit line.
To use the preset, just press it and the markers and limit line will display at the programmed
locations even when switching to a new trace. The two arrow keys make going to the next, or
previous, trace simple. Using presets, a dozen similar traces can be reliably validated in
seconds.
Renaming Grid
The renaming grid, much like the naming grid in the E series instruments, allows users to
quickly and consistently rename filenames, trace titles, and trace subtitles. The grid can be
set up with custom phrases to make the renaming process simpler.
Figure 9-7. Renaming Grid and Renaming Toolbar

9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools
To use the renaming grid:

1. Click on the left icon of the Renaming toolbar.
2. Select the filename, title, or subtitle box. Right-clicking on a box will allow you to
change the text on the button.
3. Press buttons and type until the desired name is shown.
4. Press Remember Fields to copy the new name for later use.
5. On the toolbar, press the button that corresponds to the field to be renamed.
6. If desired, use the arrow keys on the Marker toolbar to go to the next trace.
Report Generator
To use the report generator in Line Sweep Tools, go to File menu and select Report Setup to
tell Line Sweep Tools how you want the report to appear. In this case, the report will have the
name of the contractor that did the work (Company field), the contractor logo, and will be
generated in PDF format (Figure 9-8).
Figure 9-8. Report Setup Tab

Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools
Once the report generator is setup, File > Generate Report, will create the PDF. The report
will include all traces that were open at the time the report was made (Figure 9-9).

Chapter 10 — Master Software Tools
10-1 Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of Master Software Tools (MST). For detailed
information, refer to the MST Manual.
10-2 MST Overview

Anritsu Master Software Tools is a Windows 2000 and later compatible program for
transferring and editing saved measurements, markers, and limit lines to a PC. Master
Software Tools will not function on earlier versions of the Microsoft Windows operating
system.
10-3 Feature Overview

Capturing or Retrieving Traces
MST includes a feature to capture the current screen and associated data from the test
instrument to the Master Software Tools Graphic Display Editor window. Saved files on the
test instrument can also be retrieved and displayed or edited with Master Software Tools.
Editing Graphs
MST can be used to change the scale, limit lines, and markers in a measurement through the
Edit Graph button in the workspace toolbar, or through the Context Menus.
Context Menus
Context Menus are accessed by right-clicking the mouse on an active measurement screen in
the Graphic Display Editor Window. Context Menu functions may include commands that are
also available on the pull down menus and toolbar buttons, or functions, commands, and
options specific to the active measurement window.
Overlaying Traces
Trace Math and Overlays allow for comparing multiple traces.
Folder Spectrogram
Folder Spectrogram provides a simulated three dimensional view of a large amount of data in
one set of graphs.

10-4 Installing MST Master Software Tools
10-4 Installing MST

MST is provided on the CD-ROM included with the instrument. Insert the CD-ROM into a PC
