How do I get my MS2721B to use a manual ethernet address after I enter one?

After you enter the ethernet address you want to use (i.e. 10.0.0.2) you must restart the unit on a live ethernet connection. You can use the crossover cable to connect to your computer's ethernet port as a live port, but only if you are assigning an address. If you use the DHCP (dynamic host control protocol), you must hook to a live ethernet connection that allows for DHCP requests.

How do I calculate Noise Power density (dBm/Hz) from a measurement made with the MS2711D or MS272x spectrum analyzer?

On the instrument, use a Noise Marker. If you have a captured trace (in dBm) that you want to convert to dBm/Hz, use the following formula: dBm/Hz = dBm - 10 * log(1.03 * RBW)

Can I use the C/I (carrier to interference ratio) to make SINAD measurements on a narrow-band FM signal?

No, the C/I measurement is intended for use when measuring Wi-Fi (802.11b,g and a) signals. The measurement makes certain assumptions about the nature of the Wi-Fi signal being measured and how it is affected by various types of interferers.

Can the MS272xB spectrum analyzers do a G/T measurement? We want to determine the ratio between a CW pilot carrier from the satellite and the noise coming from deep space.

To do this measurement first measure the satellite carrier power. Using a marker, capture the peak of the CW signal to get that power level. Then turn the receiving dish a few degrees so it is aimed at deep space and measure the background noise level. We suggest using a fixed reference marker set at the peak of the CW carrier and a delta marker at the same frequency set to be a noise marker. By doing this, the delta marker value is in dB/Hz relative to the CW signal and once the receiving antenna is turned to deep space the answer can be read directly from the delta marker value.

My MS2721B has a fully charged battery. When I unplug it from the AC/DC adapter it still shows the AC/DC icon. Is this normal?

The battery has internal circuitry that communicates with the main board on the Spectrum Master. Either the battery is defective or something in the Spectrum Master is failing to communicate. Please contact your local service center to have this issue resolved.

I am writing a control program to work with my MS2721B. The quasi-peak command does not exist in the Programming Manual, nor can I retrieve it when I query using the :sens:det:func. Is this command available?

As of June 2009 the Remote commands for Quasi-Peak detection are being developed. They are not currently available. Expected date for these commands does not have an official target but we hope to have them by end of August, 2009.

How can I get Marker one to be fixed and have the Delta marker be variable on the same frequency?

After you set the MS2721B to the desired center frequency, make sure you don’t have any attenuation set on input port. Turn Marker one on. Select Peak Search. More Under Marker Style or Fixed Marker turn to fixed or on. Back Turn Delta ON for the marker one. You can change now the RF input level and will have the Delta value.

Are Anritsu PC applications for downloading files from the Site Master supported on 64 bit Windows OS's?

Currently Anritsu does not but is working diligently to provide a solution.

What methodolgy is used to derive GPS data for the Master products?

The GPS coordinates delivered by the instruments are based on the WGS-84 methodology of determining position.

What are the specs for the adapter 1091-81-R

Max. VSWR DC – 18 Ghz 1.06 + .005 fGhz Adapter, DC to 18 GHz, 50 Ohm, N(f)-SMA(f)

Does the MS2721B support CDMA 450MHz band?

Yes it is supported. You can enter the frequency or you can select the signal standard and enter the channel number. Here are the signal standards: CDMA2000 Class 5 (NMT-450-20 kHz)- Uplink CDMA2000 Class 5 (NMT-450-20 kHz)- Downlink CDMA2000 Class 5 (NMT-450-25 kHz)- Uplink CDMA2000 Class 5 (NMT-450-25 kHz)- Downlink

Will an MS2721B with options 078 and 009 DVB-T functions work on COFDM DVB-T 6 MHz signal transmission in USA?

Option 78 provides SFN measurements on a DVB-T/H SFN network to measure multi-path related issues. For modulation analysis and RF measurements, Option 64 is required, which does support 6 MHz DVB-T bandwidth. We've only heard of some trial DVB networks in the US which are no longer operational. However, please note that ATSC is the digital broadcast standard in the US.

On W-CDMA Over The Air (OTA) Measurements , where can I find the chip time?

According to the WCDMA standard the chip rate is fixed at 3.84 Mcps, thus chip time can derived to be 0.26 micro seconds.

On WCDMA/HSPDA Over The Air (OTA) Measurements, what is the formula that relates Ec and CPICH?

Ec is defined as the chip energy for PCPICH and is determined by multiplying CPICH by the chip time. Ec = CPICH + 10*log10(Chip Time) or Ec = CPICH - 65.84dB

I have a MS2721A Spectrum Master and I want to set my MAX Hold. How do I set It?

Press shift and trace keys, then select Trace A softkey menu, then select Max-Hold softkey.

Are the display data points fixed in the MS2721A Spectrum Analyzer?

Yes, the display data points are fixed and are independent of the Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth. There are 551 display points when the instrument is in the normal screen display. By selecting the Trace Fullscreen (On) feature the display point count increases to 661.

Do any of your spectrum analyzers have a quasi-peak detect function (to use for FCC testing)?

Yes, the MS2721B Spectrum Analyzer has quasi-peak detection function. Resolution bandwidth is 200 Hz, 9 kHz, and 120 KHz when quasi-peak detector is selected.

Is it possible to set more than 5 segmented limit lines on MS2711D?

No, it is not possible to set more than 5 segmented limit lines on the MS2711D however we have other Handheld Spectrum Analyzers in which a limit line can consist of up to 40 segments. The model numbers are MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B.

What is the memory (Internal Flash Memory and EEPROM) clearing procedure for MS2724B Spectrum Master?

To erase all the user information that is stored in Internal Flash Memory and EEPROM, a master reset needs to be done on the instrument. Below is the master reset procedure.: 1. Turn the MS2724B. 2. Press the Shift button then the 8/System button. 3. Press the System Options soft key. 4. Press the Reset soft key. 5. Press the Master Reset soft key. 6. A dialog box will be displayed on the instruments screen warning that all settings will be returned to factory default values and all user files will be deleted. 7. Press the ENTER button to complete the master reset. 8. After several seconds (which can grow to several minutes if there are a very large number of measurements saved in the instrument) the instrument will reboot.

Can I enter the sweep time manually in Spectrum Analyzer mode?

Yes you can. You can go into the sweep menu (MT8222A, MS272XB) or "MEAS/DISP" menu (MS2711D, S332D, S312D, MT8212B) and select "Min Sweep Time" and enter the desired sweep time. If you enter a time that is faster than what the instrument is capable of then the instrument will change the sweep speed and default to whatever the instrument can do. For every measurement point, the instrument spends a certain time and if it is too fast, then it is measured again. This is why the actual sweep time is usually a little bit longer than the requested time. In zero span mode, the sweep times are exact.
