General troubleshooting hints

This section provides a brief check list of common failures. Before troubleshooting
or repairing the instrument, make sure the failure is in the instrument rather than
any external connections. Also make sure that the instrument is accurately
calibrated within the last year (see
instrument's circuits allow troubleshooting and repair with basic equipment such

Keysight DAQ970A/DAQ973A Service Guide
– Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the instrument.
– Verify that the front panel [On/Standby] switch has been pushed.
– Remove all input connections to the instrument. Errors may be induced by
AC signals present on the input wiring during a self-test. Long test leads
can act as an antenna causing pick-up of AC signals.
– Verify the input protection fuses on the DAQM901A multiplexer module. If
necessary, replace with a 1.6 A, 250 V, fast acting, cartridge body, and
5.2 x 20 mm fuse.
– Note that the current input is only available on Channels 21 and 22 of the
DAQM901A multiplexer module.
