R&S UPV Software Adjustment Software Adjustment Procedure In the R&S UPV, a procedure is used that is referred to as software adjustment. The deviation of the actual value from the nominal value is measured. This deviation (referred to as correction factor) is stored in the R&S UPV and taken into account by the measurement software when controlling the analyzer and generator so that the error of the actual value remains within the tolerance.

R&S UPV Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Many faults have simple causes that can be traced without the need for numerous accessories. Since the R&S UPV has a generator and an analyzer, loop tests can be carried out for fault analysis in greater depth, whilst the ability to connect the generator and analyzer internally means that not a single external cable need be used.
Troubleshooting R&S UPV Error messages The first hint of possible operating problems in the R&S UPV may be an error message which is displayed due to an incorrect setting or because a hardware fault has been detected. If there is an incorrect setting, you will be told what needs to be changed in the input in order to eliminate the error.

Troubleshooting R&S UPV Front-panel keyboard The instrument keyboard test is limited to testing the response of a few keys. Since the entire key mat is configured in rows and columns, the proper selection ensures that the connection to the controller detects all rows and columns. To check whether all keys on the front panel are functioning properly, select one key for each row and column and check its response when you press it.
R&S UPV Troubleshooting Rotary knob No response to rotary knob? - Have you plugged in the cable from the rotary pulse generator to the FMC? - Does the current setting in the R&S UPV program prevent a rotary knob entry? For example, if the entry marker is on a graphical window without a pointer, the rotary knob is not functioning.

R&S UPV Troubleshooting External keyboard You can connect an external keyboard via one of the USB interfaces. No response: - Is the keyboard cable properly plugged into the USB socket? If the connector is not properly inserted into the socket, the instrument cannot detect the keyboard.
Troubleshooting R&S UPV Therefore, we recommend checking every USB cable using the following easy method: Measure the electrical resistance from the shield contact of one connector to the shield contact of the other connector. For correct measurement results, consider the contact resistance at your probe tips.
R&S UPV Troubleshooting CAUTION If there is no measurable voltage or the voltage has an incorrect value and the suspicion exists that the cause is an excessively high output load, it is not advisable just to unplug the connections to the PCB. At certain output voltages the switching power supply needs a certain minimum load in order to operate correctly.

R&S UPV Troubleshooting Fault in the analog power supply (APS) The effects of a fault: The generator produces either no output signal or a distorted output signal and/or the analyzer either cannot measure or delivers incorrect test results. A first sign of this can occur when booting the R&S UPV, when although the application program starts correctly, the user interface is displayed and there are even no error messages on the screen during the boot procedure, nevertheless no relays can be heard clicking.
Troubleshooting R&S UPV Faulty supply voltages for the generator? - Are all cables plugged in at the power input port? If one of the flat-cable connectors on the power input port has no contact, the linear regulators on the APS board cannot produce or stabilize the DC voltages for the generator. - Is the cable from the toroidal core transformer to the APS board (X1) plugged in? The AC supply voltage is fed to the power switch via this connection.
R&S UPV Troubleshooting Defective analog signal generation An initial criterion for correct control of the AAB from the DMB is whether you can hear individual relays while the R&S UPV application program is being started. If not, the DMB may be defective, the control cable may not be connected or the supply voltages from the analog power supply (APS) may be missing.
Troubleshooting R&S UPV 2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the individual voltage pads on the AAB to ground. If the voltages on W13, i.e. those coming directly from the APS, are defective, the APS is one cause of the error (see). However, this may be the result of a short circuit on the AAB. If you do not detect a short circuit when measuring the resistance, material fatigue (ageing) may have caused a blown fuse or some other error on the APS.
Troubleshooting R&S UPV Fig. 3-9 Clocksignal at U5 Pin 6 If the control signals to the data and clock couplers are missing, the AAB cannot set its hardware correctly. In this case, however, the DMB is causing the error. If the control signals are being properly applied to the inputs of the data and clock couplers but are either not present, distorted or have an incorrect level at their outputs, the cause is definitely on the AAB.
R&S UPV Troubleshooting If the output voltage is incorrect Operating error? - Is the desired level permissible for the selected output type (in the Generator Config panel)? - Is the output voltage limited by the Max Voltage setting (in the Generator Config panel)? - Is a high output impedance (200 ...
Troubleshooting R&S UPV If the option R&S UPV-B1 is installed, you can perform another test by switching between the universal and the low distortion generator to see what happens: If the distortions are eliminated with one of the two generators, the error is being caused by the module that emits the distorted output signal.
R&S UPV Troubleshooting Erroneous Second Generator If option R&S UPV-B3 (Second Analog Generator) is installed, the Audio Analyzer R&S UPV provides two additional signal shapes: Stereo sinewave (in conjunction with the universal generator on the AAB) DIM signal If neither of these two signals can be set, various reasons are possible: ...

E2PROM Data Management R&S UPV PROM Data Management In the R&S UPV, important data which must not be lost is managed in the E PROMs of the various modules. Among the most important elements of this data are the following: Device key (serial number) and enabled software options Calibration data for analog modules and the low distortion generator Versions (hardware options)
R&S UPV E2PROM Data Management If the E PROM management detects a problem in a subsequent firmware start, it can react positively: If the E PROM is blank but there is a backup on disk, then very probably the E PROM for the module has been swapped and the old content can be restored.
E2PROM Data Management R&S UPV Recording the Contents Every time the firmware starts, a full scan of all detected E PROMs takes place. The purpose of this scan is to detect modules and their associated hardware options, to read in valid calibration values and to detect special options such as U1 and U2.
