network analizer

Please note that it's 'analyser'. The spelling you use indicates that
the network is fundamentally inserted.

Is there some rule about the 's' and 'z'?

I didn't notice that. Yes, 'analyser' is usually used in British
English, and 'analyzer' in US English. There are no rules; it's all down
to usage.

But in general, 'z' is correct, except for a few words, such as
'comprise', 'surprise' and 'advertise'. Apart from those, the 's'
spelling was invented in Britain by some newspaper editors in the 1920s
and isn't etymologically correct.

I normally use 'z', because it's used in IEC standards.

I used "analizer" because that is called in romanian language,
english is just a language I've learned at school, 25 years ago.
Of course it looks in english "analyser" is the most frequently used.

greetings,
Vasile
