Troubleshooting
If the system appears to be malfunctioning, the process described below can
be used look for possible causes and solutions, or to isolate the fault to a
particular part of the system.
This is the quickest and simplest way to eliminate a temporary computer
problem that might have been triggered by a line power fluctuation or other
elusive cause:
•
Turn off power to all system instruments.
•
Turn them all back on, except the display portion network analyzer.
•
Wait 10 seconds, and turn on the display portion of the network
analyzer.
If cycling power does not restore normal functioning, the next step is to
verify that the system hardware has been set up properly:
Line power
Power switches and/or power indicators must be ON for:
•
85101C and 85102B
•
Millimeter-wave controller
•
83651B
•
83621B
If the power indicator for any instrument is dark, despite the line switch
being in the ON position, check the power line connection and fuse for that
instrument.
Test head indicators
The "ON" LEDs (located near the test ports) should be lit, indicating that the
test heads are receiving power supply voltages from the millimeter-wave
controller.
"Active" indicator
This LED (on the front panel of the millimeter-wave controller) should be
lit, indicating that the controller is in communication with the network
analyzer, and is selected as the active test set.
