Risk of instrument damage
The RF input power at the connectors RF IN and LO IN must not exceed the maximum
values quoted in the data sheet. The maximum values are below the maximum RF
source power of the network analyzer. The frequency converter mode ensures compat-
ible source powers.
Before you connect your converter to the network analyzer, always activate the fre-
quency converter mode using the "Frequency Converter" tab of the "System Configura-
tion" dialog (see
on page 19) and select the proper converter type and connecting diagram.
