Agilent Technologies 856290216 service manual Blanking

5. Compare the signals at the following test points with those illustrated in Figure 10-2.
x POS: A2J202 pin 14
Y POS:
A2J202 pin 3
Z OUT: A2J201 pin 3
BLANKING: A2J202 pin 15
Note
Waveforms displayed on an analog scope may show considerably more spikes.
This is normal and is due to the wider displayed bandwidth.
6. Troubleshoot the circuits associated with any bad waveforms.

Refer to function block J of A2 Controller Schematic Diagram (sheet 1 of 4) in the
HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information.
1. Using an oscilloscope, check for blanking pulses at A2J202 pin 15. A2U206 pin 6 should be
at a TTL high. Blanking pulses turn the CRT beam off during the sample time of the line
generators and when moving the CRT beam to a new position for drawing the next vector.
2. Set an oscilloscope to the following settings:
