The Display is Too Dark to Read

Brightness may be set to minimum. Use the figure in
brightness softkey and adjust the value so that you can see the display.

The Display Turns Black when Using USB Media

Removing the USB media when the instrument begins to use it can cause the screen to go black.
Cycle instrument power.
Signal Generator Lock–Up
• Ensure that the signal generator is not in remote mode (the R annunciator shows on the display).
To exit remote mode and unlock the front panel, press Local Cancel/(Esc).
• Ensure that the signal generator is not in local lockout, which prevents front panel operation. For
information on local lockout, refer to the Programming Guide.
• If a progress bar appears on the signal generator display, an operation is in progress.
• Preset the signal generator.
• Cycle power on the signal generator.

RF Output

No RF Output

• Check the RF ON/OFF LED (shown on
• Ensure that the amplitude is set within the signal generator's range.
• If the instrument is playing a waveform, ensure that marker polarity and routing settings are
correct (see "Saving Marker Polarity and Routing Settings" on page

Power Supply Shuts Down

If the power supply does not work, it requires repair or replacement. If you are unable to service the
instrument, send the signal generator to an Agilent service center for repair (see
Technologies" on page

No Modulation at the RF Output

Check both the Mod On/Off LED and the <modulation> Off On softkey, and ensure that both are on.
See also "Modulating the Carrier Signal" on page
For digital modulation on a vector signal generator, ensure that the internal I/Q modulator is on (the
I/Q annunciator displays).
If using an external modulation source, ensure that the external source is on and that it is operating
within the signal generator's specified limits.
