Potential Problems During Boot Process
attenuator steps are available on each of the two input attenuators. Then you
can view the troubleshooting information for the Front End Controller or
deduce from the attenuator steps that fail, which attenuator is faulty.
Assure there is no 50 MHz signal above 0 dBm applied to the instrument input when the
alignment routine is performed. This can cause errors.
