5. Receiver Channel Noise Floor Level (Only for Analyzers without Option  006)
In Case of 
Difficulty 
WARNING These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. 
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you  are 
qualified to do so.
WARNING The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose 
dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage 
sources while it is being opened.
WARNING The power cord is connected to i nternal capacitors that may remain 
live for five seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power 
supply.
1Check the R sampler assembly by substituting it with the A sampler assembly.
2Move the flexible RF cable (currently connected to the R sampler assembly) to 
the A sampler assembly.
3Use a 10 dB attenuator between the RF OUT and the analyzer receiver input A.
4Repeat the test. In Step 4, press MEAS, INPUT PORTS, A.
5If the test still fails, suspect the A11 phase lock board assembly.
5. Receiver Channel Noise Floor Level (Only for Analyzers without Option 006)Perform this test to determine the analyzer receiver cha nnel noise floor levels.
