Used for choosing between power-on ( | ) and standby (O) state of E5052B.
To turn off the power for the E5052B, be sure to follow the steps described below:
First, press this standby switch or send a shutdown command from the external controller to activate the shutdown process (the processing of software and hardware necessary to turn off the power supply). This will put the E5052B into the standby state.
Next, if necessary, turn off power supply to the Power Cable Receptacle (to LINE) on the rear panel.
Under normal use, never directly interrupt the power supply to the power cable receptacle on the rear panel when the power supply is on. Always keep the Line Switch (Always ON) at (|). Never turn it off (O).
If you directly interrupt the power supply to the power cable receptacle when the power supply is on, or turn off the Line Switch (Always ON), the shutdown process will not work. This could damage the software and hardware of the E5052B and lead to device failure.
Turning on the power supply after a faulty shutdown may cause the system to start up in a condition called "safe mode." If this occurs, first shut down the system to put it into the standby state and then turn on the power supply again to start up the system in normal mode.
The E5052B is equipped with a 10.4-inch TFT color, touch-sensitive LCD screen for displaying traces, scales, settings, softkeys and other measurement related information. The touch screen LCD allows you to manipulate softkeys by touching the LCD screen directly with a finger. For more on the LCD screen, see Screen Area: Names and Functions of Parts.
Do not press the surface of the LCD screen with a sharp object (e.g., a nail, pen, or screwdriver). Pressing the surface with a sharp-pointed object will damage the LCD screen surface or cause the screen to fail.
Occasionally, a few pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this is not a failure and does not affect the performance of your product.

Key Name |
Description |
|
Window Next Key |
Pressing this key causes the active measurement window to switch over to the next higher window number of seven measurement windows. It is possible to define sweep range and other parameters of an active measurement window. To change the settings of a window, use this key to first activate the window. |

Window Max Key |
Switches over between normal and maximum display of the active measurement window. In normal display, all seven measurement windows (both active and non-active) are displayed in split views on the screen. In maximum display, only the active measurement window is displayed over the entire area, without showing non-active measurement windows. You can also switch over between the normal and maximum windows by double-clicking the measurement window frame. Measurements are also carried out on the non-active measurement windows that are not displayed. |

An active trace is one for which the measurement parameters are defined. To change the settings for a trace, use this key to first make the trace active. |
|
Trace Max |
Switches over between normal and maximum display of the active trace within the measurement window. In normal display, all traces are displayed in split views on the measurement window. For the maximum display, only the active trace is maximized, while non-active traces are not displayed. To maximize the active trace, you can also double-click the area inside the measurement window (excluding the frame). Measurements are also carried out on the non-active traces that are not displayed. |

Two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports are provided that can be used for connecting to USB, Multiport test set or a printer. Connecting a compatible printer to this port enables screen information on the E5052B to be printed. For more information on printing, see Printing Displayed Screen.
The specifications of this port are identical to those of the Rear USB port.
These ports are used with E5053A otherwise the ports are connected with furnished two short SMA semi-rigid cables.
Connected to the chassis of the E5052B, a ground terminal is provided with the E5052B. You can connect a banana-type plug to this terminal for grounding.
The E5052B comes with one port that can be used to provide power to external probes. See the Data sheet for the voltage and maximum current.
DC Control Port is a DUT interface port that can be used to provide control voltage to DUT. For example, this port can be used to provide tuning voltage (Vt) to a VCO.
Connector type: 50Ω, BNC, Female.
DC Power Port is a DUT interface port that can be used to provide power voltage to DUT. For example, this port can be used to provide bias voltage (Vcc) to a VCO.
Connector type: BNC, Female.
This DUT interface port is used for baseband noise measurement and can accept DC voltage up to 35V. To make baseband noise measurement mode useful for power supply noise measurement, this port is well protected for DC voltage application.
Connector type: 50Ω, AC Coupled, BNC, Female.
RF Port is a DUT interface port that gets the RF input generated from the DUT.
Connector type: 50Ω, N-type, Female.
Do not apply a DC voltage or current to the individual ports of the DC Control, DC Power and RF Port. Applying a DC voltage or current may lead to the breakdown of this product. In particular, there is the risk of the capacitor remaining charged. Connect the measurement sample (DUT) to the port (or the test fixture, cables, etc. connected to the port) after discharging DUT's electricity enough.
