** 2. INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE

14 Nov 2024, Roberto: InstrumentView
Installed Instrument View on the PC of bench #2.
To use, connect the PC to the FPC-150 with an A-B USB cable.

The manual for Instrument View is in: 
"...\eHUB\Bench2-RF\FPC Spectrum Analyzer\InstrumentView_Manual_en_20.pdf"

13-Nov-2024, Khoa and Roberto: Exploring the FPC-Z10 Teaching Kit

We tried to use the onboard calibration kit that comes with the FPC-Z10.
The kit can be powered with a USB cable directly from the FPC SA.
The kit manual is vague regarding calibration. The getting started manual seems to imply that the Z10 kit can be used for calibration, the FPC manual seems to imply that it is only used for verification.
Khoa noticed that the cal standards behave differently when the board is power ON or OFF.

Best instructions for DIY kit:

We need the following software to load a cal kit:
