Troubleshooting Techniques  

To troubleshoot an HP E1340A problem, you should first identify the
problem, and then isolate the cause to a user-replaceable part.

Identifying the

Problem

AFG problems can be divided into three general categories:

Operator errors

Catastrophic failures 

Performance out of specification 

Operator Errors

Apparent failures may result from operator errors. See Appendix B in the
HP E1340A User’s Manual  for information on operator errors.  If the
mainframe or command module returns a "DEVICE DRIVER NOT
FOUND" error, see Chapter 1 of the HP E1340A User’s Manual for
information on downloading the driver.

Catastrophic Failure

If a catastrophic failure occurs, see "Testing the Assembly" to troubleshoot
the AFG.

Performance Out of Specification 

If the AFG fails any of its Performance Tests, perform the adjustments
described in Chapter 3, then repeat the Performance Tests.

Testing the

Assembly

You can use the tests and checks in Table 5-1 to isolate the problem.  
See Figure 4-1 in Chapter 4 for locations of user-replaceable parts.
