Check Signal Generator Operation

Use the following procedure to confirm that the signal generator powers up and that the internal check 
identifies no errors. The internal check evaluates the operation of the signal generator and returns an error 
message if it detects a problem.

1. Turn on the signal generator and let it warm up for at least five minutes.

NOTE

When signal generators with Option 1E5 are first turned on, the reference oven will be cold 
and an error message 

ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold

 appears on the front-panel 

display. In addition, both the 

OVEN COLD

 annunciator and the 

ERR

 annunciator appear on the 

front-panel display.

After approximately five minutes, the 

OVEN COLD

 annunciator automatically clears, but the 

ERR

 annunciator remains on until all errors are cleared from the error queue.

2. Run the signal generator self test. Press 

Utility

 > 

Instrument Info/Help Mode

 > 

Self Test

Run Complete Self 

Test

. A summary of the test results is displayed after completion of the self test. Refer to the service 

guide to troubleshoot any failures detected by the test.

NOTE

Some circuits may require up to 50 minutes to warm up before passing the self-test. If 

self-tests continue to fail after 50 minutes of warm up, troubleshoot the signal generator.

3. Check to see if the 

ERR

 annunciator is on.

• If the ERR annunciator is on, review the error messages in the error queue. Press 

Utility

Error Info

. The first error message in the error queue appears in the display text area. (Refer 

to the signal generator error messages document for information about each error message.)

After resolving all problems causing errors, press 

Clear Error Queue(s)

.

• If  the 

ERR

 annunciator is off, the signal generator self-tests passed.

Install New Firmware 

NOTE

Firmware version 

≥ 

C.04.54 must be downloaded before installing the new A7 Digital Bus 

Baseband Generator board.

1. Use the installation note provided in the ESG firmware upgrade kit, E4400-60597, to install the new 

firmware.

2. Perform the verification procedure described in the firmware upgrade installation note.
