1-2 Instrument Description
The Site Master S331E/S361E is a handheld cable and antenna analyzer designed to make
Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, and Distance-To-Fault (DTF) measurements in the field.
The cable and antenna analyzer also includes 1-port phase and smith chart measurements.
The 2-port transmission measurement option includes two power levels and access to a
built-in 32 volt bias tee (Option 10).
The S332E/S362E is an integrated multi-functional test instrument that eliminates the need
to carry and learn multiple test sets. In addition to the cable and antenna measurements, the
S332E/S362E can be configured to include a Spectrum Analyzer, 2-port Transmission
Measurement, Interference Analyzer with Interference Mapping capabilities, Coverage
Mapping, Channel Scanner, CW Signal Generator, AM/FM/PM Analyzer, PIM Analyzer,
Power Meter, and High Accuracy Power Meter. A GPS receiver can be added to both the
S331E/S361E and the S332E/S362E Site Master models.
The bright 8.4 in TFT color display provides easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions
and the combination of a touch screen and keypad enables users to navigate menus with the
touch screen and enter numbers with the keypad. All Site Master models are equipped with
a Li-Ion battery delivering more than four hours of battery life for the S331E/S361E and more
than three hours of battery life for the S332E/S362E Site Masters.
The internal memory is large enough to store approximately 2,000 traces or setups.
Measurements and setups can also be stored in a USB flash drive or transferred to a PC using
the included USB cable. Ethernet connectivity is available using Option 411.
Master Software Tools (MST), a PC based software program, can be used to create reports,
view and organize data, analyze historical data, add markers and limit lines, rename traces
and trace analysis. Refer to Chapter 10 for a brief overview of Master Software Tools and the
Master Software Tools Users Guide (.pdf file is available on the MST CD-ROM) for additional
information. (.DAT files can be opened with the legacy Handheld Software Tools (HHST)
application.)

Note
Not all after-market USB drives are compatible with the instrument. Many drives
come with a second partition that contains proprietary firmware. This partition must
be removed. Only one partition is allowed. Refer to the individual manufacturer for
instructions on how to remove it. Some drives can be made to work by reformatting
them using the FAT32 format.
