4) Your phase noise seems too high
You may consider using a low phase noise external reference or contacting us
about lower phase noise options. Be aware that the Signal Hound phase noise is
noticably higher than a YIG-based spectrum analyzer, especially at higher
frequencies.
5) You receive a specific error code
Error 1: Your Signal hound was not found on a USB port. Plug in your Signal
Hound if it isn't already. If it is already plugged in, unplug it, reboot, re-install the
USB driver, and/or try a different USB port.
Error 2-6: A USB communications error occurred. If multiple errors occur, close
out of the software, unplug the Signal Hound, wait 20 seconds, plug it back in and
try again. If you get a recurring error, please make a note of the error number, and
e-mail or call tech support.
6) General Advice to avoid problems
Unplug your Signal Hound from the USB port when not in use, or before
⇒
shutting down your computer.
Do not connect your Signal Hound's USB port until your computer has
⇒
completed its bootup sequence. If you do, it may need to be unplugged for 20
seconds then plugged back in before operating properly.
Do not overpower the Signal Hound.
