Table 5-18.Error Messages 124, 125, and 126 (1 of 2)

YIG-tuned Oscillator

Error 124 Full Band Unlocked and Unleveled

Error 125 8.4-20 GHz Unlocked and Unleveled

Error 126 2-8.4 GHz Unlocked and Unleveled

Description: These error messages indicate either a failure of one or both of the oscillators in the 2-20 GHz YIG-tuned oscillator assembly.

Step 1. Connect a 562 Scalar Network Analyzer to the 682XXB/ 683XXB as follows:

a.Connect the 682XXB/683XXB AUX I/O to the 562 AUX I/O.

b.Connect the 562 DEDICATED GPIB to the 682XXB/ 683XXB IEEE-488 GPIB.

c.Connect the RF Detector to the 562 Channel A Input.

Step 2. Set up the 682XXB/683XXB as follows:

a.682XXB Setup: CW/SWEEP SELECT: Step F1: 2.000 GHz

F2: 20.000 GHz

Number of Steps: 400

683XXB Setup:

CW/SWEEP SELECT: Analog

F1: 2.000 GHz

F2: 20.000 GHz

Sweep Time: 0.100 Sec

Step 3. Set up the 562 Scalar Network Analyzer as follows:

a.Press SYSTEM MENU key.

b.From System Menu display, select RESET.

c.Press CHANNEL 2 DISPLAY: OFF.

d.Press CHANNEL 1 DISPLAY: ON.

e.Press CHANNEL 1 MENU key.

f.From the Channel 1 Menu display, select POWER.

Step 4. Using the scalar network analyzer, measure the RF output directly at the YIG-tuned oscillator’s output connector. The amplitude of the RF signal should be >4 dBm throughout the full sweep.
