ON Mode

To turn ON the PNA press the power button.
The power indicator will change to green when power is ON.

Turn OFF PNA Autostart

The PNA application (835x.exe) always starts automatically when power is turned ON. To cause the PNA to NOT Autostart, do the following:

Minimize the PNA application.
From Windows Explorer, navigate to and double-click the following file: C:/Program Files(x86)/Keysight/Network Analyzer/Service/Toggle_PNA_Autostart.exe

The script toggles the PNA Autostart mode ON and OFF.

Shutdown Mode

In shut down mode the current instrument state is NOT automatically saved before the PNA is powered OFF.
When the PNA is again powered ON, a full system boot-up is performed and the PNA powers-up in the preset settings.
A password may be required to resume PNA operation after being in Shutdown mode. Learn more.
To guarantee that your measurements meet the PNA specified performance, allow the PNA to warm-up for 90 minutes after the power indicator has turned green.
The power indicator will change to yellow when power is OFF.

Note: If the PNA is locked and you cannot operate the mouse or keypad, shut down the PNA by pressing and holding the power button for at least four seconds.
This practice should be avoided! Repeated shutdowns in this manner WILL damage the hard drive. Learn more about damaging the PNA hard drive.

Unplugging the PNA

Remove the power cord from the PNA ONLY when the power indicator is yellow, in either Hibernate or Shutdown mode. If the power cord is removed while the power indicator is green (PNA ON), damage to the hard drive is possible.
The indicator will remain yellow for several seconds after the power cord has been removed.
