Used for choosing between power-on ( | ) and standby (O) state of E5071C. Do not connect an USB memory at power on.
To turn off the power for the E5071C, 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 E5071C 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 E5071C 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 E5071C 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.
Valid pixels are 99.998 % and more. Below 0.002 % of fixed points of black, blue, green or red are not regarded as failure.
A group of keys for selecting active channels and traces. For more on the concepts of channels and traces, see Setting Channels and Traces.

Do not apply DC voltage or current to the test port. Applying DC voltage or current may lead to device failure. In particular, the capacitor might remain charged. Connect the measurement sample (DUT) to the test port (or the test fixture, cables, etc. connected to the test port) after the analyzer has been completely discharged. The maximum DC limit of test port is 35V.
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, Multiport test set 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 E5071C to be printed. For more on executing ECal measurements, see Calibration, and for printing, see Printing Displayed Screen.
The specifications of this port are identical to those of the Rear USB port.
Connected to the chassis of the E5071C, a ground terminal is provided with the E5071C. You can connect a banana-type plug to this terminal for grounding.
The E5071C comes with two ports that can be used to provide power to external probes. See the Data sheet for the voltage and maximum current.
