Troubleshooting the Analyzer

Agilent 35670A

To troubleshoot source and calibrator failures

 

Step 5. Check the Input assembly.

Using an oscilloscope and a 10:1 probe, check the following signal.

If the signal is incorrect, the A1/A2 Input assembly is probably faulty.

Step 6. Compare the analyzer’s self-test results to the following table.

Press the following keys:

[System Utility ] [ MORE ]

[ SELF TEST ]

[ FUNCTIONL TESTS ]

[ DIGITAL PROCESSOR ] [ ALL ]

[ Rtn ]

[ADC GATE ARRAY ]

Determine the probable faulty assembly by comparing the analyzer’s self-test results to the following table.

Self-Test Results

Probable Faulty Assembly

 

 

 

Trigger Gate Array fails and ADC Gate Array passes

A6

Digital

 

 

 

Baseband fails, Zoom fails, and ADC Gate Array passes

A6

Digital

 

 

 

ADC Gate Array fails

A5

Analog

 

 

 

All self tests pass through the ADC Gate Array

A5

Analog

This test does not check all the signals from the A6 Digital assembly to the A5 Analog and A1/A2 Input assemblies. All the functions of the A6 Digital assembly are checked by the self tests except for a few output buffers. If replacing the A5 Analog assembly does not fix the failure, the A6 Digital assembly is probably faulty.
