8-1 3. TROUBLESHOOTING
Improper methods of discharging the -40
Volt supply may result in damage to the
instrument. Refer to the 8350A Sweep
Oscillator Operating and Service Manual
for these procedures.
TEST, error code EOOl will be displayed. Table
8-2 lists other error codes associated with the
83522A RF Plug-in.
8-19. If the front panel displays an error code,
refer to the Overall Block Diagram and Trouble-
shooting section. This section will help the
operator to define the problem area.
8-20. OPERATOR-I NITIATED TESTS
8-14. Troubleshooting is generally divided into 8-21. The 8350A m i c r o ~ r o c e s s o r services
two maintenance levels in this manual. The first several operator-initiated tests of the 83522A to
level isolates the problem to a circuit or check functions which are not exercised during
assembly. SELF-TEST (described in paragraph
SELF-TEST. The tests may be initiated by
8-16) together with the Overall Block Diagram
making the appropriate key entry indexed in
and Troubleshooting hints, helps to isolate the
8-3-
problem source to a particular assembly.
8-22. Access to most of the 83522A digital
circuitry can be achieved through local pro-
8-15. The second maintenance level isolates
gramming with the following key entry
the trouble to the component. Operator-initiated
commands:
tests, schematic diagrams, and circuit descrip-
tions for each assembly aid in troubleshooting Function Key Entry
to the component level.

8-17. 8350A software provides microprocessor
and operator-initiated checks. These checks
verify the proper functioning of the majority of
the 8350A and 83522A digital circuitry and a
portion of the analog devices.
8-18. Whenever the 8350A is powered ON, or
the front panel

is pressed, instrument SELF-TEST is initiated.
Instrument SELF-TEST checks a number of
circuits in both the 8350A and the 83522A. If a
failure in the 83522A is detected during SELF-
