Click the

Hardware

tab, click

Device Manager

, and then expand

Keysight PNA DSP Device

in the resulting list. The following entry

should be listed:

Keysight Technologies DSP Driver #2

and should

be enabled.

2. If the entry is not present or if the icon to the left of the name is a

yellow box containing an exclamation mark (!), navigate the following

directories and verify the presence of the following file:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\spampnp.sys

3. If you have verified that the DSP driver is present and enabled, but all

traces are still missing in all bands, go to

“Checking the Source

Group” on page 4-34

—

If the traces exhibit power drops in some frequency bands

, the problem is

in the source group. Go to

“Source Group Tests” on page 4-34

and perform

the tests that correspond to the problems seen.

Single Trace (A, B, C, D, R1, R2, R3, or R4) Only

If the trace is missing in all bands or has notches or roll-off, go to

“Checking

the Signal Separation Group” on page 4-39

A, B, R1, and R2 Traces Only

The problem is in the source 1 group, go to

“Checking the Source Group” on

page 4-34

C, D, R3, and R4 Traces Only

The problem is in the source 2 group, go to

“Checking the Source Group” on
