Getting Acquainted with the EMC 1 Analyzer This chapter provides an introduction to the EMC analyzer's front-panel features, an explanation of screen annotation, the procedure for making a basic measurement with the EMC analyzer, and the procedure for performing self-calibration routines. The EMC analyzer also supplies a spectrum analyzer operating mode with screen annotation described in \Spectrum Analyzer Mode Screen Annotation" at the end of this chapter.
Figure 1-1. Front-Panel Feature Overview 3 4 5 6 1-2 4FREQUENCY5, 4SPAN5, and 4AMPLITUDE5 are the three large dark-gray keys that activate the primary EMC analyzer tuning functions and access menus of related functions. 4SETUP5 and 4TEST5 are the dark-gray keys that access menus of functions used to setup the instrument, then make fast and accurate EMC measurements. INSTRUMENT STATE functions a ect the state of the entire EMC analyzer.
7 8 9 10 MEASUREMENT CONTROL functions access menus that allow you to make manual or automated quasi-peak average measurements, adjust the IF bandwidth, adjust the sweep time, store and manipulate trace data, demodulate signals, control the markers, control the instrument display, and make measurements. WINDOWS functions include: 4ON5 to turn on the windows display mode, 4NEXT5 for switching between windows, and 4ZOOM5 for controlling the zone span and center frequency.
EMC Analyzer Screen Annotation Figure 1-2 shows an example of screen annotation as it appears on the screen of the EMC analyzer. Table 1-1 lists the screen annotation features numerically and refers to Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2. EMC Analyzer Screen Annotation In Figure 1-2, item number 19 refers to the trigger and sweep modes of the EMC analyzer. The rst letter (\F") indicates the EMC analyzer is in free-run trigger mode. The second letter (\S") indicates the EMC analyzer is in single-sweep mode.
the trace mode annotation of trace A. In Figure 1-2, the trace C trace mode is \SC," indicating trace C (\C") is in the store-blank mode (\S"). The WINDOWS display mode splits the screen into two separate displays. Only one of these displays is active at a time. The currently active window will have a solid line around the graticule rather than a broken line. The complete annotation is not available for each window because of space limitations. Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Table 1-1.

Making a Basic Measurement Basic measurements simply involve tuning the instrument to place a signal on the screen, then placing a marker on one or more signals, measuring those signals, and moving those signals to a list. Caution Do not exceed the maximum input power that is printed on the front panel of the EMC analyzer. Let's begin using the EMC analyzer by measuring an input signal. Since the 300 MHz calibration signal (CAL OUT) is readily available, we will use it as our input signal. 1.
Figure 1-3. Placing the Marker on a Signal 5. Press MEASURE AT MKR . In a short time, the measured marker values are displayed in the upper-right corner of the display. 6. Press ADD TO LIST . The measure-at-marker results are saved to an internal list. Signal Added is now displayed on the screen. 7. Press the up 485 key one or more times to place the marker on a second signal. 8. Press MEASURE AT MKR , then ADD TO LIST to add the second signal to the internal list.
Figure 1-4. Displaying a List on the Screen 10. The list can be graphed on screen in either log or linear frequency scales by pressing the Save/Rcl List softkey. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN 11. Press SAVE LOG GRAPH to view the signals in the list on a log graph. To clear the display's active function area, press 4ENTER5 key (front-panel's lower-right corner). Refer to Figure 1-5.
Note Figure 1-5. Displaying the List as a Log Graph If the EMC analyzer is connected to either a printer or plotter: a. Press the 4COPY5 key to obtain a printed copy of the graph. Changing the con guration may be required, or b. Press the 4OUTPUT5 key to access the softkeys that will help you: De ne a report. De ne a list. Add up to two pages of text using a keyboard. 12. To return the instrument to a known state, press 4PRESET5.
Performing Self-Calibration Routines The self-calibration routines add o sets, called correction factors, to internal circuitry. The addition of the correction factors is required to meet frequency and amplitude speci cations. Warm-Up Time To meet EMC analyzer speci cations: 1. The EMC analyzer should be stored at a constant temperature, within the operating temperature range, for at least 2 hours. 2. Turn on the EMC analyzer and allow the EMC analyzer to warm up for 30 minutes.
If CAL FREQ and CAL AMPTD self-calibration routines are used, the CAL FREQ routine should always be performed before the CAL AMPTD routine. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Note NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Interrupting the CAL AMPTD , CAL FREQ , or CAL FREQ & AMPTD self-calibration routines may result in corrupt data stored in RAM. (If this occurs, rerun the CAL FREQ & AMPTD routine.
Performing the Tracking Generator Self-Calibration Routine (Option 010) To meet the tracking generator speci cations, allow the EMC analyzer to warm up for 30 minutes after being turned on before attempting to make any calibrated measurements. Be sure to calibrate the EMC analyzer and the tracking generator only after the EMC analyzer has met operating temperature conditions.
Spectrum Analyzer Mode Screen Annotation Figure 1-6 shows an example of screen annotation as it appears on the screen of the EMC analyzer when in the SPECTRUM ANALYZER mode. Instrument modes are changed using the 4MODE5 front-panel key. Table 1-3 lists the screen annotation features numerically and refers to Figure 1-6.

is displayed under the trace mode annotation of trace A. In Figure 1-6, the trace C trace mode is \SC," indicating trace C (\C") is in the store-blank mode (\S"). The WINDOWS display mode splits the screen into two separate displays. Only one of these displays is active at a time. The currently active window will have a solid line around the graticule rather than a broken line. The complete annotation is not available for each window because of space limitations. Table 1-3.

A EMC Analyzer Error Messages Error Messages The EMC analyzer can generate various messages that appear on its screen during operation to indicate a problem. There are three types of messages: hardware error messages (H), user-created error messages (U), and informational messages (M). Hardware error messages indicate the EMC analyzer hardware is probably broken. User-created error messages appear when the EMC analyzer is used incorrectly.
ADC-TIME FAIL Indicates a hardware failure. (H) and (U) CAL: During the self-calibration routine, messages may appear on the display to indicate how the calibration routines are progressing. For example, sweep, freq, span, MC delay, FM coil, and atten can appear on the EMC analyzer display. LOCK OFF appears brie y during the CAL FREQ self-calibration routine; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
CAL: NBW 200 Hz notch amp failed Indicates that the 200 Hz resolution bandwidth is not the correct shape for the calibration routine. (H) CAL: NBW 200 Hz notch failed Indicates that the 200 Hz resolution bandwidth is not the correct shape for the calibration routine. (H) CAL: NBW 200 Hz width failed Indicates that the 200 Hz resolution bandwidth is not the correct bandwidth for the calibration routine.
CAL: USING DEFAULT DATA Indicates that the calibration data is corrupt and the default correction factors are being used. Interruption of the self-calibration routines or an error can cause this problem. (M) CAL YTF FAILED Indicates that the CAL YTF routine could not be successfully completed.
CONF TEST FAIL Indicates that the con dence test failed. If this happens, ensure that the CAL OUT connector is connected to the EMC analyzer input, perform the CAL FREQ & AMPTD routine, and then perform the con dence test again. This message also sets SRQ 110.
INVALID ACTDEF: The speci ed ACTDEF name is not valid. See the ACTDEF programming command. (U) INVALID AMPCOR: FREQ For the AMPCOR command, the frequency data must be entered in increasing order. See the description for the AMPCOR programming command for more information. (U) INVALID BLOCK FORMAT: IF STATEMENT An invalid block format appeared within the IF statement. See the description for the IF THEN ELSE ENDIF programming command for more information.
INVALID DET: FM or TV option only Indicates that the selected detector cannot be used until the appropriate option is installed in the EMC analyzer. (U) INVALID ENTER FORMAT The enter format is not valid. See the appropriate programming command description to determine the correct format. (U) INVALID < le name> NOT FOUND Indicates that the speci ed le could not be loaded into EMC analyzer memory or purged from memory because the le name cannot be found.
key name with the following pairs of letters: LB, OA, OL, TA, TB, TR, MA, MF, TS, OT, and DR. (U) INVALID OUTPUT FORMAT The output format is not valid. See the appropriate programming command description to determine the correct format. (U) INVALID RANGE: Stop < Start Indicates that the rst trace element speci ed for a range of trace elements is larger that ending trace element. When specifying a trace range the starting element must be less than the ending element.
INVALID STORE DEST: The speci ed destination eld is invalid. (U) INVALID TRACE: The speci ed trace is invalid. (U) INVALID TRACENAME: Indicates the speci ed trace could not be saved because the trace name is not allowed. To avoid this problem, use an underscore as the second character in the trace name, or avoid beginning the trace name with the following pairs of letters: LB, OA, OL, TA, TB, TR, MA, MF, TS, OT, and DR. (U) INVALID VALUE PARAMETER: The speci ed value parameter is invalid.
narrow resolution bandwidths (bandwidths that are less than 1 kHz) with the following procedure: 1. Place the marker on the desired signal. 2. Increase the resolution bandwidth to 1 kHz and verify the marker is on the signal peak. 3. If the marker in on the signal peak, the marker count function can be used in either the 1 kHz resolution bandwidth or the original narrow resolution bandwidth setting.
POS-PK FAIL Indicates the positive-peak detector has failed. (H) RCVR Limits not allowed in SA mode This error is encountered when an attempt is made to enable limit-line display, limit-margin display, or limit testing of limits de ned in Receiver mode when the instrument is operating in Signal Analysis mode. To correct the problem, either purge the limits or switch to Receiver mode. (U) REF UNLOCK Indicates that the frequency reference is not locked to the external reference input.
RFFS Error: TIMEOUT Communication failure between the EMC analyzer; and the RF lter section. Check power to the RF lter section and check that the AUX interface cable is properly connected between both instruments. Requires the HP 85420E Option 1EM RF lter section. (U) (H) RFFS Service Bus Active This message appears in the active function area of the EMC analyzer; display when an external controller communicates with the RF lter section via the RF lter section Service Bus interface.
SRQ The speci ed service request is active. Service requests are a form of informational message and are explained in Appendix A of the HP 8590 EM Series EMC Analyzer User's Guide. (M) STEP GAIN/ATTN FAIL Indicates the step gain has failed. (H) Stop at marker not available with negative detection Indicates that the marker counter cannot be used when negative peak detection is selected. To use the marker counter, turn o negative peak detection with DETECTOR PK SP NG .
VID-BW FAIL Indicates the video bandwidths have failed. (H) YTF is not available The YTF is only available for the HP 8593EM, HP 8595EM, and HP 8596EM.
Nonrecoverable System Errors Certain situations can create error conditions from which the main processor cannot recover. In the event that the processor detects a nonrecoverable error, the instrument will be initialized, the display will be blanked, and special error messages will be written to the display. The following is a sample nonrecoverable system error message display.
Among the conditions which can contribute to the occurrence of a nonrecoverable system error are: Hardware failure of the main processor Hardware failure of system memory available to the main processor Errors in the primary system control program Attempted execution of unsupported system commands Nonrecoverable system errors may occur when attempting to load an improper le type into the machine.
B AM, FM, and Pulsed RF Reference Charts This appendix contains charts and graphs that are helpful when you are performing amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, or pulsed RF measurements. Modulation information can easily be determined from the carrier signal and a sideband. The di erence in amplitude between the two signals can be used to determine percent of modulation. Markers read the frequency di erence between the two signals, which is equal to the modulating frequency.
