The operation of the Site Master is straightforward and intuitive.
However, you may find it helpful to review the operation of the keys
and menus prior to first-time use.
Descriptions of the keys and menus are provided in Chapter 2; measurement procedures are found in Chapter 3.
First-time users and maintenance supervisors will benefit from perusing
the material in Chapter 1. This chapter describes the instrument and
provides listings of options, accessories, and performance specifications.

Handheld Code Loader v3.44 Visit the Handheld Code Loader Home Page for quick access to the firmware, features, and version history (no registration required). Note: Master Software Tools (MST) now works on Site Master S311D, S331D, S312D, S332D and Cell Master MT8212B. We strongly recommend users to migrate to MST. This platform has numerous productivity advantages over the HHST and all future product enhancements will be done via MST. Visit the Master Software Tools (MST) Home Page for more information.

1. You can use Site Master to verify your adapters. The User's Guides of all of our Site Masters have a procedure for Return Loss Measurements. 2. When you measure the return loss of your adapter after an Open Short Load (OSL) calibration, please pay attention to the frequency range of the termination (load) used. For example, 7/16 load works to 8 GHz, SM/PL works to 4 GHz, 28N50-2 works to 18 GHz. 3. Adding another adapter between the adapter under test and the load will degrade the measurement of the return loss of the adapter under test. Plus if one adapter is really bad, you won't know which one is the culprit. 4. Perform the OSL calibration at the Site Master test port. The OSL calibration needs to be performed at the same place you will be connecting the adapter to be tested. Then attach an appropriate load. You are now measuring the return loss of the adapter. 5. Ultimately you have to have known good terminations and a known good Site Master to be able to perform these measurements. If you have more than one unknown, then it becomes very difficult to tell where the problem is. Anritsu offers calibration services for Site Master and also for the loads as well as some of the adapters. If you still are having problems, please consider sending your equipment in for calibration.
The following limitation exists for most commonly used USB to Serial Adapters: The baud rate only goes from 9600 - 38400 kbs.
Your InstaCal module can be used on any S11xC, S33xC, or later models. InstaCal will not work on the older "B" models or on the S251C.
Based on the resolution chosen, there are a discrete number of data points that are created and displayed on the graph. The markers can only fall on one of these discrete points in the graph. To find out the frequency spacing of the points from F1, use the following equation: (F2-F1)/# of points.
When doing a DTF, the unit is still calibrated to a particular frequency range, to check the frequency range that you are calibrated for: 1. Press the "Mode" Hard Key 2. Select "DTF" 3. Press the "DTF Aid" soft key 4. Look at F1 and F2, they represent the currently calibrated range of the unit. 5. If F1 and F2 are outside the frequency band of the antenna, it will look like a short, change the frequency range to the range of the antenna.
