Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with speci c
WARNINGS given elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the instrument.
The Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
Do NOT Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of

Preparation for Use
Introduction
This chapter describes how to prepare the 41900A PI-Network Test Fixture for use. The topics
include the following:
Initial inspection.
Repackaging the 41900A for shipment.
Initial Inspection
The 41900A has been carefully inspected electrically and mechanically before being shipped
from the factory. It should be in perfect physical condition, no scratches, dents or the like, and
it should be in perfect electrical condition. Verify this by carefully performing an incoming
inspection to check the xture for signs of physical damage and missing contents. If any
discrepancy is found, notify the carrier and Agilent Technologies. Your Agilent Technologies
sales oce will arrange for repair and replacement without waiting for the claim to be settled.
1. Inspect the shipping container for damage. Keep the shipping materials until the incoming
inspection is completed.
2. Verify that the shipping container contains everything shown in Figure 2-1 and listed in
Table 2-1. If the 41900A is ordered with Option 001 (Load Capacitor Adapter Kit), it should
also contain the parts listed in Table 2-2.
3. Inspect the exterior of the 41900A for any signs of damage.

Repackaging the 41900A for Shipment
If shipment to a Agilent Technologies service center is required, the 41900A should be
repackaged using the original factory packaging materials.
If this material is not available, comparable packaging materials may be used. Wrap the 41900A
in heavy paper and pack in anti-static plastic packing material. Use sucient shock absorbing
material on all sides of the 41900A to provide a thick, rm cushion and to prevent movement.
Seal the shipping container securely and mark it FRAGILE.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the 41900A. The topics include the following:
Connecting the 41900A for Use.
Using the Sample Programs (Option 001).
Connecting the 41900A for Use
Figure 3-1 shows how to connect the 41900A to the 87510A Gain-Phase Analyzer, E5100A/B
Network Analyzer. If the instrument is the E5100A/B with option 600, the connection of the
20dB ATT is not neccessary.

Operation 3-1
Assembling the CL Adapter Board (Option 001)
The CL Adapter Board initially has only a trimmer capacitor on it. It is necessary to choose
the appropriate capacitors and then solder them on the board to provide the required load
capacitance (CL ). Figure 3-2 shows a circuit diagram of the CL Adapter Board and Table 3-1
lists an example of the C1 , C2 , CS combinations to obtain the required load capacitance.

panel or 4Return5 on the external keyboard to modify the standard values.
b. The 87510A, E5100A/B asks for a new standard value for each parameter. Enter a new
value using the numeric keys and then press 4215, 4Enter5 or 4Return5.
If you do not want to change the value, just press 4215 on the 87510A's front panel,
4Enter5 on the E5100A/B's front panel or 4Return5 on the external keyboard for each
standard.
c. After modifying the standard values, the 87510A, E5100A/B asks you to save the new
data to the data le. If you want to save the modi ed data, press 4215 on the 87510A's
front panel, 4Enter5 on the E5100A/B's front panel or 4Return5 of the external keyboard.
The saved data is used as the default setting the next time you run the program. If
you want to use the prede ned data, purge the le \PI_DATA" for the 87510A or
\E5100a.DAT" for the E5100A/B from the disk.
9. Set the positioning plate as shown in Figure 3-4. Connect the standards as follows and
make the measurements:
OPEN Verify that nothing is connected to the electrodes of the 41900A,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
then press OPEN on the 87510A's or E5100A/B's front panel. When
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
completed, double parentheses enclose the OPEN softkey label.
SHORT Connect the Shorting Plate as shown in Figure 3-4, then press
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
SHORT on the 87510A's or E5100A/B's front panel. When
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
completed, double parentheses enclose the SHORT softkey label.
LOAD Connect the 50
Resistor as shown in Figure 3-4, then press LOAD
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
on the 87510A's or E5100A/B's front panel. When completed,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
double parentheses enclose the LOAD key label.

To abort the calibration, press CAL BREAK . The program is terminated by this key.
10. After completing the measurement of the standards, press DONE: 3 TERM CAL on the
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
87510A's or E5100A/B'sfront panel to complete the calibration.
\COMPUTING CAL COEFFICIENTS" is displayed while the 87510A, E5100A/B is calculating
the calibration coecients.
11. Enter the frequency for the load capacitance adjustment in MHz and press 4215 on the
87510A's front panel, 4Enter5 on the E5100A/B's front panel or 4Return5 on the external
keyboard.
12. Insert the CL Adapter Board and Shorting Plate as shown in Figure 3-5, and then press
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
softkey Continue on the 87510A, E5100A/B or 4F25 of the external keyboard.
Operation 3-7

13. Load capacitance CL is measured continuously and the result is displayed on the display.
14. Adjust the load capacitance with a screw driver as shown in Figure 3-6.
Note Use a screwdriver with a ceramic or plastic blade to adjust the trimmer
capacitor. VESSEL
Ceramic Adjustment Screwdriver No.9000 (0) 1.8230 is
R
recommended.

adjustment.
16. Replace the Shorting Plate with the DUT as shown in Figure 3-5.
This is the end of the CL adjustment procedure. If it is necessary to obtain the equivalent
circuit parameters of the DUT, perform the remaining steps.
17. Press softkey Continue on the 87510A, E5100A/B or 4F25 on the external keyboard.
