General Troubleshooting & Repair of the M703E Calibrator M703E Calibrator Operators Manual

11.1.3. USING THE DIAGNOSTIC SIGNAL I/O FUNCTION

The Signal I/O parameters found under the DIAG Menu combined with a thorough understanding of the
instruments Theory of Operation (found in Chapter 9) are useful for troubleshooting in three ways:
The technician can view the raw, unprocessed signal level of the calibrator’s critical inputs and outputs.
Many of the components and functions that are normally under algorithmic control of the CPU can be
manually exercised.
The technician can directly control the signal level Analog and Digital Output signals.
This allows the technician to observe systematically the effect of directly controlling these signals on the
operation of the calibrator. Figure 11-1 is an example of how to use the Signal I/O menu to view the raw voltage
of an input signal or to control the state of an output voltage or control signal. The specific parameter will vary
depending on the situation.
