Note

Because the cal oscillator circuitry on the A4 assembly is

such an

integral

part

 

of

the

IF

adjustment, always check this assembly first, before checking the rest

 

of

the

IF

Section. A faulty cal oscillator can cause many

apparent

“faults”

in

the rest of the IF Section.

Troubleshooting Using the TAM

Refer to Chapter 7, “General Troubleshooting,” for information on enabling the TAM for use with the HP 85623 spectrum analyzer.

When using Automatic Fault Isolation, the TAM indicates suspected circuits that need to be manually checked. Use Table 9-l to locate the manual procedure. Table 9-2 lists assembly test connectors associated with each Manual Probe Troubleshooting test. Figure 9-l illustrates the location of A4 and A5 test connectors. Figure 9-2 illustrates the levels and paths through the IF Section.
