Troubleshooting Introduction Introduction WARNING These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid possible electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. WARNING The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from its power supply beforehand.
If you wish to return to the Measurement View, double-click "Network Analyzer" icon. NOTE If you need to shut down the E5061B and again turn on, perform in accordance with the following procedure. a. To get "Start" menu bar displayed, move the pointer to the bottom of the screen with mouse.
29. Step 2. Check the display • If no display appears on the LCD after the E5061B is turned on, go to “No Display Troubleshooting” on page 22. • If the E5061B stops in booting process despite something being displayed on the LCD, go to “Booting Process Troubleshooting”...

Troubleshooting Booting Process Troubleshooting Figure 2-11 Firmware revision and option information If the display whited out, entirely blued or appeared with a dialog box, a mass storage problem is suspected. Try to perform the mass storage recovery procedure. NOTE If a message of "Will Shut Down in Five Seconds" is displayed in place of "Initializing.." and the shutdown occurs, the DSP board fails in starting up.

Troubleshooting Booting Process Troubleshooting Figure 2-12 Measurement view Step 6. Power-on self test The power-on self test is executed once automatically before the measurement starts. While the power-on self test is in progress, "Power on test" is displayed at the left in the instrument status bar.
Power On Self Test Power-on self-test always takes place once the E5061B is turned on. When a failure is detected, a message "Power on self test failed" is displayed. The content of the power-on self-test is the same as a part of the diagnostic test program and includes the dc power supply voltage, source PLL synthesizer and level controller (ALC) tests.
Do not operate front panel keys, keyboard and mouse during the diagnostic test. Changing the instrument settings while the diagnostic test is in progress will cause incorrect test results. Step 1. Connect a mouse and an external keyboard to the E5061B’s rear panel connector. Step 2. Press key.
Step 11. To exit the diagnostic test, click "Exit" button. Program Overall Instrument Information The option and serial number for the E5061B, and test date can be entered automatically. Test Conditions The test conditions, “Temperature”, “Humidity” and person doing the test (“Tested by”) can be entered.
