Troubleshooting

 

Check the basics

178

Check the basics

Before calling Keysight Technologies, or returning an 
analyzer for service, perform the quick checks listed below. 
This check may eliminate the problem.

•

Is there power at the receptacle?

•

Is the analyzer turned on? Listen for internal fan noise to 
determine if the analyzer cooling fan is running. Feel the 
rear side of the analyzer for air flow.

•

If other equipment, cables, and connectors are being used 
with your spectrum analyzer, make sure they are 
connected properly and operating correctly.

•

Review the measurement procedures being performed 
when the problem first appeared. Make sure all of the 
settings are correct.

•

If the analyzer is not functioning as expected, return the 
analyzer to a known state by pressing 

Preset

.

•

Is the measurement being performed, and the results that 
are expected, within the specifications and capabilities of 
the analyzer? Refer to the 

Technical Overview

 

for your 

analyzer.

•

Is the analyzer displaying an error message? If so, refer to 

User’s Guide

 for details

.

•

To meet specifications, the analyzer must be aligned. For 
more information on how to align the analyzer, refer to 

“Time Base Calibration” on page 23

.

NOTE

Some analyzer settings are not affected by a Preset. If you wish to reset 

the analyzer configuration to the state it was in when it was originally 

sent from the factory, press System, Power On/Preset, Preset Type, 

Factory. Then press the green Preset key on the front panel.

WARNING

No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified 

personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
