## Details

Part Number: 1043.3243.02

## Overview

Provides local control and interface functions for a vector network analyzer. Hardware platform is a custom embedded system. Connects to the analyzer via proprietary interface for parameter adjustment and display. Supports remote operation via GPIB and LAN interfaces. Common application is manual instrument control and remote automated testing.

## Function

Provides local control interface and user interaction capability for vector network analyzer operations including measurement parameter configuration, calibration procedures, data display and analysis, file management, and system status monitoring. Enables direct operator control of measurement functions, sweep settings, trace operations, and calibration standards through integrated display and input controls. Interfaces with main analyzer unit via dedicated control bus to execute measurement commands and retrieve results data.

## Platform

designed to operate with the ZVM Vector Network Analyzer system, functioning as a local control interface for precise network measurements. This unit provides direct access to measurement functionalities, enabling user control over test parameters, calibration routines, and data visualization within the VNA environment. Integrates within RF/microwave test setups, connecting to the main analyzer chassis while offering tactile control elements for laboratory users. Compatible with standard bench testing configurations and automated test environments, supporting operation across multiple frequency bands according to the connected analyzer's specifications.

## Application

Communication interface for controlling vector network analyzers, featuring data acquisition capabilities, user input mechanisms, and display functionalities. Integrates with test systems to facilitate automated measurements, performance verification, and signal monitoring. Designed for laboratory environments, production testing, and field operations where precise RF parameter characterization is required. Enables calibration procedures, impedance matching assessment, and S-parameter measurements through a dedicated control interface.

## Accessories

Mounting hardware (screws, standoffs) for ZVM mainframe integration. Primary interface is a proprietary multi-pin backplane connector providing power and data communication with the ZVM's internal bus architecture.

## Interface

1x RS-232 (DB-9 female), 1x IEEE-488 (GPIB), 1x Ethernet (RJ-45), 1x USB Type B, 2x USB Type A, 1x VGA (HD-15), CPLD interface, power input connector (IEC 60320 C14).
