N7824A ESG-B Required Test Equipment

This section lists the test equipment needed to run performance tests, adjustments, and utilities. The computer and all test equipment are connected to the unit under test (UUT) using GPIB. Model numbers are Keysight, Agilent, or Hewlett-Packard unless otherwise specified.

In all test equipment configurations, cables and adapters must be properly torqued. Exceeding recommended torque values can cause damage to a cable or adapter, and can cause inaccurate test results.

All test equipment requires a 30 minute warm-up period to ensure accurate performance.

Test Equipment	Recommended Model	Alternate Model	Applicable Tests/Comments
Power Sensor¹ When ordering a new STD or CFT power sensor from Keysight to be used with the N7800A series applications, order with Option 1A7. The 1A7 option provides an ISO 17025 calibration and includes calibration data. When re-calibrating your STD or CFT power sensor for use with the N7800A series applications, we recommend the Keysight ISO 17025 calibration.	N8482A	N8482A CFT 8482A H84¹ E9304A² E9304A H19³ E9304A H18³ Option H84 provides reflection coefficient data. E9304A is used for Power Level Accuracy performance test and adjustment, and may be used for the Digital Mod Power Level Accuracy Relative to CW performance test. Not allowed for Digital Mod Power Level Accuracy Relative to CW test.	Digital Mod Power Level Accuracy Relative to CW Power Level Accuracy Performance Test Power Level Accuracy Adjustment
Power Meter	N1914A¹ Power meter N1914A with serial numbers ranging between MY00000000—MY53040007 require Service Note 07 to be applied for measurement repeatability. Please have this service note applied or verify it was applied before using this power meter. The affected service note is N1914A-07. .
