NOTE

The 373XXA has extensive built-in troubleshooting tools that are useful for troubleshooting the failures listed in Table 5-5. These and other troubleshooting tools are ac- cessed from the Option Menu key, which is part of the en- hancement keygroup. (From the select OPTIONS menu select DIAGNOSTICS, then select TROUBLE- SHOOTING). Refer to Appendix A.

Troubleshooting tools that are available from the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING menu that are useful for locating faults occurring in the

Source Module, Test Set Module and Receiver Module are:

NOTE

The troubleshooting tools listed below are used to test the 373XXA to factory set limits when the ANRITSU 37300A Test Software (2300-178) is run.

When run from the TROUBLESHOOTING menu, not all tests will display limit lines (as is the case when the 37300A Test Software 2300-178 is used).

NON-RATIO PARAMETERS

This function displays the output of each of the individual test set channels. It is especially useful for verifying the performance of the Buffer Amplifier and Power Amplifier.

NOTE

A through-line cable connecting Port 1 and Port 2 is re- quired for this check.
