Maximum Leveled Power Check Failure; Checking The Output Power - Agilent Technologies E8663B Installation Manual

11. Watch the display and ensure that the Unlevel annunciator does not appear at any time during
a full sweep.
The Unlevel annunciator may turn on and off, or remain on; both conditions indicate a failure.
If this occurs, refer to
instructions.
12. Press .

13. Repeat steps 5 through 12 for each frequency range specific to your instrument model number
and options.

Maximum Leveled Power Check Failure

If a maximum leveled power check fails, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify the limits for that particular option using the data sheet.
2. If the Unlocked annunciator is displayed, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter of the E8663B
Analog Signal Generator Service Guide.
3. Ensure that the RF OUTPUT connector is connected to a 50Ω load.
4. Ensure that the power level entered corresponds to the value listed in
5. Refer to Table 3- 2
If the measured power level is more than the power level listed in
knob counterclockwise until the measured power level equals the power level in
6. Note the signal generator front- panel amplitude value and use it to repeat the maximum leveled
power check.
If you have followed the above steps and the check continues to fail, contact the nearest Agilent
Technologies call center for assistance. Refer to
page 10 for contact information.

Checking the Output Power

This test verifies the CW output power from the signal generator. If this test fails, refer to
with Output Power" on page 16
