Each test connector has fifteen pins (one pin is missing to act as a key). The pins contain eight measured signal lines (measured signal lines denoted as MS1 through MSS), one input signal line (OSl), one ground, and five pins encoding a five-bit connector address.

The TAM needs to probe each assembly’s Revision Connector once; subsequent readings are not necessary. It is possible, for example, to probe the A5 IF Assembly, then the A4 Log Amplifier Assembly, and then return to A5 without having to re-probe A5’s Revision Connector. However, the Revision Connector must be re-probed if the spectrum analyzer is returned to normal operation and then back to TAM control. (This is also true if the analyzer is turned off.)

Cal Osc. Troubleshooting Mode

The Cal Osc. Troubleshooting Mode enables front-panel control of the Cal Oscillator on the A4 assembly. The Cal Oscillator can be fixed-tuned to three different frequencies. The Cal Oscillator may also be set to one of five sweep widths, centered at 10.7 MHz.

Fixed-tuned settings:

11.5MHz

10.7MHz

9.9MHz

Sweep-width settings:

20kHz

10kHz

4kHz

2kHz

.7 kHz

The Cal Osc. Troubleshooting Mode sends the Cal Oscillator output (-35 dBm) to the A5 IF Assembly. On the A5 IF Assembly all crystal filter poles are shorted, all LC poles enabled, and the 15 dB attenuator disabled. Signals from the RF Section are attenuated as much as possible.
