Hardkey Name |
Description |
|
Channel Next |
Selects the next channel as the active channel. (Each time the key is pressed, the active channel steps up from the current channel to the channel with one number larger than the current channel number). A channel must be active before you can define such parameters as the sweep range. To change the settings of a channel, use this key to first make the channel active. |
|
Channel Prev |
Selects the previous channel as the active channel. (Each time the key is pressed,the active channel steps down from the current channel to the channel with one number smaller than the current channel number). |
|
Trace Next |
Selects the next trace as the active trace. (Each time the key is pressed, the active trace steps up from the current trace to the trace with one number larger than the current trace number). A trace must be active before you can define measurement parameters and other settings. To change the settings of a trace, use this key to first make the trace active. |
|
Trace Prev |
Selects the previous trace as the active trace. (Each time the key is pressed, active trace steps down from the current trace to the trace with one number smaller than the current trace number). |

The objects to be manipulated by the NAVIGATION Block keys and ENTRY Block keys include softkey menus, data entry areas, tables (e.g., segment tables, limit tables, and marker tables), and dialog boxes. When two or more of these objects are displayed on the screen and need selecting, use this key to change the selection (focus) among the objects to be manipulated. When a softkey menu is selected, the menu name area at the top of the menu is displayed in blue. When a data entry area is selected, the data entry bar is displayed in blue. When a table is selected, the frame of the table window is displayed in light gray. While a dialog box is displayed, the focus is fixed on the dialog box and cannot be changed. |

The E5061B 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., nail, pen, or screwdriver). Pressing the surface with a sharp-pointed object will damage the LCD screen surface or cause the screen to fail.
Valid pixels are 99.998 % and more. Below 0.002 % of fixed points of black, blue, green or red are not regarded as failure.
The E5061B Option 3L5/3L4/3L3 comes with two ports that can be used to provide power to external probes. See the Data sheet for the voltage and maximum current.
Other E5061B options do not have probe power ports.
This switch can turn on/off the E5061B. The color on the button shows the status as shown below:
|
Indicator Color |
Description |
|
Green |
Normal power on status. |
|
Orange |
Standby status. |
|
Red |
To turn off the power of the E5061B, 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 E5061B 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 E5061B 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 set it to the standby state and then turn on the power supply again to start up the system in normal mode.
Test PortsPort 1 and Port 2 are for S-parameter measurement. Port 1 can apply DC Bias. While signals are being output from a test port, the yellow LED above the test port is lit.
LF Out, R and T Ports are for Gain-Phase measurement. LF Out is a source port and it can apply DC Bias on measurement signal. The R and T ports are receiver ports. The input impedance for R and T ports can be selected from 50 Ω or 1 MΩ.
LF Out can be used for DC voltage source during S parameter measurement.
Only E5061B Option 3L5/3L4/3L3 has LF Out, R and T Ports. Other E5061B options do not have these ports.
Do not apply the exceeded DC voltage or current to the test port.
When you use the probe which has a pin on the connector, place the plastic ring to avoid connector from damage.
The test ports comply with Installation Category I of IEC 61010-1.
Two USB (Universal Serial Bus) Ports are provided that can be used for connecting to ECal (Electronic Calibration) module, USB keyboard, USB mouse, USB memory or a printer. Connecting a designated ECal module to this port enables ECal measurements to be taken. Connecting a compatible printer to this port enables screen information on the E5061B to be printed. See Using USB for more detail.
