• The analyzer has extremely low gain. Refer to
Be sure to perform all internal self-calibration routines after resolving
the calibration signal problem. Refer to the calibration guide for your
instrument.
Instrument firmware expects the cal output signal to be 300 MHz
NOTE
± 2 MHz. Sometimes the instrument default data is not able to tune the
cal signal within this range and a "cal signal not found" message may
appear on screen. Perform a cal output bypass check by pressing
Frequency
by calibrating the sweep ramp.
CAL: SPAN SENS FAIL (H)
During the
span-sensitivity adjustment routine has failed, indicating that the
spans controlled by the main coil (LO spans greater than 10 MHz) are
not working correctly. The span-sensitivity adjustment routine checks
for three displayed signals: 0 Hz, 300 MHz, and 600 MHz. If three
signals are not found in a 750 MHz span, the error message is
displayed.

Troubleshooting Hints
Spurious signals can cause this routine to fail.
Refer to the
Chapter
Chapter 14
The default data introduces frequency offsets that can make an
accurate CAL OUT signal appear to be outside the test limits for the
CAL OUT check. If desired, the instrument CAL OUT check can be
bypassed. Enter the −37 Hz passcode before pressing
desired self-calibration softkey.
