Unleveled with no/low output power:

Step 1. Set up the 682XXB/683XXB as follows:

a.682XXB Setup: CW/SWEEP SELECT: Step F1: 0.010 GHz

F2: 20.000 GHz

Number of Steps: 400

L1: +1.00 dBm

683XXB Setup:

CW/SWEEP SELECT: Analog

F1: 0.010 GHz

F2: 20.000 GHz

Sweep Time: 0.100 Sec

L1: +1.00 dBm

b.LEVEL/ALC SELECT: ALC Mode

Leveling Menu: Internal

Step 2. Connect the X input of an oscilloscope to the 682XXB/ 683XXB rear panel HORIZ OUT connector.

Step 3. Using the oscilloscope, check the switched filter bias volt- ages at A13TP4 and A13TP9. The bias voltage at A13TP4 should be +6 volts; the bias voltage at A13TP9 should be +8 volts. If the 682XXB/683XXB has a SDM installed, also check for a +20 volt PIN switch drive voltage at A9TP9.

If the bias and the PIN switch drive voltages are correct, go to step 4.

qIf the bias voltages are not correct, replace the A13 PCB.

If the PIN switch drive voltage is not correct, replace the A9 PCB.

Step 4. 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.
