Page 58 Troubleshooting Self-Test Diagnostics (Step 1) The pattern generated by the LEDs can be interpreted as a binary-weighting code. The LED (labeled 0) is the least-significant bit (see Figure 3-7 on page 58).

As a program runs, calibration factors are computed and applied. When all the calibration factors have been acquired, the program stops and asks if the user wants the calibration factors to be stored.

Block Diagrams RF Input/Output Section RF Input/Output Section RF Power Measurement An RF power measurement can only be made by supplying a signal to the RF IN/OUT port of the Test Set. See Figure 10-2 on page 287. A power splitter then splits the signal between an RF analysis path and a power measurement path.

Block Diagrams RF Analyzer Section RF Analyzer Section Frequency Conversion The A2A115 Downconverter, see Figure 10-3 on page 290, produces an IF of 114.3, 385.7 or 614.3 MHz. The LO is provided by the A2A22 Receiver Synthesizer, see Figure 10-4 on page 291.
Page 290: Spectrum Analysis
Block Diagrams RF Analyzer Section Spectrum Analysis The LO on the A2A20 Spectrum Analyzer is swept across the span by the Controller, see Figure 10-6 on page 293. The LO starts sweeping when the oscilloscope circuits on the A2A33 Measurement board trigger the display sweep to start.

Page 310: Level Control
Block Diagrams RF Generator Section Level Control The A2A44 Output Section assembly (Figure 10-19 on page 312) has an automatic-level-control (ALC) loop that acts as a vernier control of RF level between 2 and +9 dBm. A step attenuator in the A2A130 RF Input/Output assembly takes the level down to 127 dBm ( 137 dBm at the RF IN/OUT connector) in 5 dB steps.

Block Diagrams Instrument Control Section Instrument Control Section Digital Control The Test Set’s Digital Control is driven by two assemblies: • A2A30 Memory/SBRC • A2A31 Controller The controller receives user control information by either the A2A70 Control Interface or by the front panel. Operating firmware on the A2A30 Memory/SBRC is then used by the A2A31 Controller to generate digital control for the Test Set.

Error Messages Calibration Download Failure Error Message Calibration Download Failure Error Message The following message occurs at powerup when the downloading of calibration data is unsuccessful. Cal file checksum incorrect. File reset to default values. It indicates that the calibration data is corrupt, and although the Test Set will function, measurements will be inaccurate.
Page 328: Flash Rom Firmware Upgrade Error Messages
Error Messages Flash ROM Firmware Upgrade Error Messages Flash ROM Firmware Upgrade Error Messages Test Set’s firmware is stored in flash ROMs. With flash ROMs, the firmware can be quickly upgraded with new firmware from a memory card. It is not necessary to open the Test Set and replace individual ICs. Should problems arise in the process of uploading the new firmware, the user is notified by messages on the display which state the situation and suggest any actions to be taken.
Page 329: Programming Voltage Error
Error Messages Flash ROM Firmware Upgrade Error Messages Programming Voltage Error The programming voltage is supplied to the flash ROMs from the power supply through the Controller assembly. The fault is most likely on the Controller but can be caused by the Filter/Regulator assembly. ROM Checksum Error With the new firmware loaded into the Test Set’s flash ROMs, the checksum on the ROM is tested.

Error Messages Self-Calibration Error Messages Self-Calibration Error Messages Voltmeter Self Calibration Failed. Error = 223, 0x0000ffff (EXAMPLE) The example noted above is one of many messages that may occur during self-calibration. When the Test Set is powered up and at timed intervals for certain measurements, the Test Set calibrates itself internally.
