NOTE
See the Agilent E1346A Single Ended Relay Multiplexer User’s Manual for
information on logical address and IRQ settings. If there are no apparent
problems following the visual checks, run the Performance Verification
Tests in Chapter 2 to see if a relay or other component is defective.

Testing the
Multiplexer
You can use the tests and checks in Chapter 2 - Verification Tests and the
information in Table 4-3 to isolate the problem to a relay, to a component,
or to both. See Chapter 3 - Replaceable Parts for locations of mechanical
parts. See the component locator diagram at the end of this chapter for
locations of electrical components.
Table 4-3 shows the relationship between the failing channel number and
the associated channel relay, tree relay, and driver/decoder. Because the
closed channel resistance test always includes two relay contacts, use Table
4-3 to determine if failures of the closed contact resistance test are in logical
groupings. For example, if Test 2-1. Closed Channel Resistance Test failed
for channel 00 alone, replace relay K0, if the test failed for channels 24
through 31, replace relay K90.
