Can you tell me the difference between the 2000-767-R and the 2000-1618-R?

The only difference is the frequency range. The 2000-767 is DC to 4 GHz and the 2000-1618-R is DC to 6 GHz. There is also a female 7/16 Open/Short/Load part number 2000-768-R and 2000-1619-R. 2000-768-R frequency range is DC to 4GHz and 2000-1619-R is DC to 6GHz.

Can you capture the power monitor (option 5) measurements by using the "Capture Current Plot to Screen F2" function of Handheld Software Tools?

No, for sitemaster "C" Models and below, this function is not supported.  You can use this function on the "D" Model sitemasters.  (S311D/S312D, S331D/S332D, S810D/S820D, MS2711D).

How accurate is the positioning location of the GPS (opt 31)?

Approximately +/- 20 Meters but this is not specified.

What is the specification for the commscope cable FXL1480PE?

 The Propagation Velocity is: 89%.  The cable loss is: .00835 dB's per feet at 1000 MHz .0124 dB's per feet at 2000 MHz .0159 dB's per feet at 3000 MHz This is not an Anritsu made or sold cable.

Does cable loss affect the system return loss?

The short answer is yes. The return loss of a cable & antenna system will be different if you are making a return loss measurement of a 15 dB antenna with two different cables. The return loss of the system is proportional to  2*CL (Cable Loss). System designers takes this into consideration when determining the specifications.

When using a Sitemaster, what is the maximum cable loss I should measure using the 1 port method?

The maximum cable loss one should expect to have an accurate measurement is 10 dB or less.  For measurements that exceed 10 dB, the uncertainty increases significantly.  The 2 port cable loss measurement technique should be used in these cases.

I have difficulties downloading the signal standard file from the instrument to HHST when I use the USB-RS232 adapter, what can I do?

This has to do with the COM settings. For signal standards, it is assuming that you are using COM1 and if you are not, it will be challenging. To change this, please see below: Go to Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Ports -> double click on USB to RS232 -> port settings -> advanced -> change COM number to 1 In HHST: Settings -> Communication -> COM1    

The measurement range of the Power Monitor Option (5) for Site Masters is -50 to +20 dBm. Can we measure power greater than +20dBm?

To measure power greater than +20 dBm an external attenuator is required. The display range of the instrument is -80 dBm to +80 dBm so therefore you can measure up to +80 dBm with a 60 dB external attenuator.

What are the specifications for the SC5237 (6 dB offset termination) and SC5270 (20 dB offset termination)?

SC5237: DC to 4.0 GHz, 16.4 to 16.8 ohm 6dB +/- 0.25 dB SC5270: DC to 4.0 GHz, 40.66 to 41.1 ohm 20dB +/- 1.5 dB

Does Handheld Software Tools work with Microsoft Vista?

Yes, Handheld Software Tools 6.58 or later is compatible with Microsoft Vista. Also the driver for the USB to serial adapter cable from Tripp Lite should also be updated if necessary to work with Microsoft Vista. The driver for XP/Vista can be found at: http://www.tripplite.com/support/download/download.cfm?file=cables/U209-000-R.zip

What is the difference between an OSL calibration and FlexCal?

With the OSL calibration, you have to calibrate each time you change the frequency range. With the FlexCal, you can change the frequency range and you don't have to perform another calibration. FlexCal is great for troubleshooting purposes. The accuracy can be affected if your span is really narrow so for optimum accuracy, it is recommended to use the OSL calibration.

Does the internal power meter (option 29) of S332D require an external detector to measure power?

No external detector is required for this option. The spectrum analyzer board and detection circuit is used to provide the user with frequency selective power measurements.

What happens if the battery of my site master is completely discharged?

If a battery is allowed to totally discharge, the smart-memory capability of the battery may be lost, resulting in incorrect battery capacity readings or loss of communication with the battery.

What is the meaning of the LED indicators on the optional battery charger?

Each battery holder in the optional charger has an LED charging status indicator. The LED color changes as the battery is charged: Red indicates the battery is charging Green indicates the battery is fully charged Yellow indicates the battery is in a waiting state.  A yellow light may occur because the battery became too warm during the charge cycle.  In this case, the charger will allow the battery to cool off before continuing the charge. A yellow light may also indicate that the charger is alternating charge to each of the two batteries.

What is the specification for cable LDF12-50J?

Propagation Vel 88%  (.88) Atten/100ft @ 1920 MHz  3.13 dB  Atten/100ft @ 2000 MHz  3.20 dB   Atten/100ft @ 894 MHz  2.07 dB  Atten/100ft @ 960 MHz  2.15 dB Atten/100ft @ 1700 MHz  2.93 dB d This is not Anritsu made or sold cable.

What causes my Site Master to beep?

If a flashing LOW BATT indicator is accompanied by an audio beep at the end of each trace, the battery has approximately one minute of useable time remaining.

Is there any recommendation for Battery Life on a Site Master?

The NiMH battery will last longer and perform better if allowed to completely discharge before recharging. For maximum battery life, it is recommended that the NiMH battery be completely discharged and recharged once every three months.

Can I sweep antennas close to another RF source?

Yes but you need to be very careful that the RF from another Source is not going to exceed the 20 dBm max on the RF port.  Power in excess of 20 dBm can result in damage to the unit.

Can a .csv file that was converted from a .vna file of a VNA master be converted back to .vna using Master Software Tools?

No. If someone sends you a .csv file MST cannot be used to convert it back to a .vna file to be opened in MST.
