Refer to function block S of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the
HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information.
If both HPOS-HLDNG and are high during the same bucket,
HROSENFELL will also be set high. This indicates that the video signal probably consists of
noise, since it rose and fell during the same period. The HROSENFELL signal is valid only
when the NORMAL ( rosenfell) detector mode is selected.
1. Remove anything connected to the HP 85613 or HP 85633 front-panel INPUT
connector. Press on the spectrum analyzer and set the controls as follows:

2. Check LPOS-RST and as described in “Peak Detector Reset.”
3. Check pin 4 for two low-going 3.3 pulses 40 apart occurring every 130
4. Check that HROSENFELL pin 6) has two pulses spaced approximately
40 apart and then a third pulse 60 from the second pulse. Each pulse should be
approximately 10 wide and low-going.
5. Monitor HROSENFELL with an oscilloscope while reducing the video bandwidth from
1 MHz to 1
6. As the video bandwidth is decreased to 1 the HROSENFELL line should increasingly
show low logic level. With a video bandwidth of 1 a nearly flat line should be
displayed on the CRT.
7. Set the sweep time to 50 ms. Externally trigger the oscilloscope using the spectrum
analyzer rear-panel BLKG/GATE OUTPUT.
8. Check that HPOS-HLDNG pin 4) is mostly high with a 1 MHz video bandwidth
and mostly low with a 1 video bandwidth.
9. Check that LNEG-HLDNG pin 13) is mostly high with a 1 MHz video bandwidth
and mostly low with a 1 video bandwidth.
Refer to function block AA of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the
HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information.
The ADC MUX switches various inputs into the video path for conversion by the ADC.
The SCAN RAMP input is used during sweeps having
of equal to or greater than
2.01 MHz times N, to control the timing of the ADC operations. Some combination of
MOD-VIDEO, NEG-PEAK, and POS-PEAK is used for the video signal to be converted by
the ADC. The YTO ERR, FCMUX, CAL OSC TUNE, and OFL ERR inputs are used only
during diagnostic and auto adjust routines and during retrace.
