Service Utilities Menu 1

assemblies. his can be a helpful tool in troubleshooting these circuits.

this information is designed for factory use and can vary considerably from unit to unit, the
date and time that the last adjustment was done or modi ed can be helpful information. his is
updated each time an adjustment is performed. However, this date will be lost if the correction
constants are not stored to EEPROM before power is cycled. Date format is as de ned under

the same data. Information displayed is the stored correction for the indicated parameter.
Assuming no adjustments have been performed since power was cycled, this represents the
correction constants stored in EEPROM.
Viewing this data is useful in determining the measured raw performance of the analyzer, as
well as the quality of the adjustment procedure used to store the correction constant data.
Since this data represents the correction constants determined by performing the adjustments,
it is also an indication of how the adjustments were performed. If any of these arrays show
signi cant discontinuities, suspect either a hardware problem in the analyzer, or a hardware
problem in the equipment used to perform the adjustment.
Data displayed is always the full band correction regardless of the current start/stop
frequency settings. Absolute values are generally o set by a signi cant amount, so meaningful
information can only be derived from the relative values. able 5-4 lists all of the analyzer's
thirty-nine correction arrays along with a brief description and typical value ranges.
