f. lf 
the fuse

open 
and the 
vottage 
is still
absent, 
it indicates 
the trouble is 
the 
power 
Supply. 
(E)
g. 
lf the voltage 
from 
a current 
limited 
supply 
is
absent 
or low, 
the 
problem 
could 
be the supply, 
or cir-
cuits 
the 
supply 
furnishes 
may 
be 
drawing 
excessive
curr€nt. 
Turn 
the 
POWER 
ofr, 
then disconnect 
the
suspect assemblies 
or  modules 
from 
the supply and
re-measure 
the voltage; 
or, remove 
the 
power 
Suppty
from 
the 
instrument 
and 
measurE 
the unloaded 
voltagei
on 
the Power 
Supply 
connector.
(1) 
lf the supply 
voltage 
is correct 
with assembty 
or
module removed, 
or 
when 
the 
voltage 
with 
th€
power 
supply 
removed 
is 
normal, 
the circuits 
this
supply 
furnishes 
are causing 
the 
problem. 
(E)
(2) 
lf 
the voltage 
for 
the 
unloaded 
supply 
voltage
is 
still 
inaccurate, 
the

TUNING FAILURE 
- 
1ST 
LO
The  1st 
LO 
is  set 
by 
a 
combination
hardware/software 
loop. 
There 
are 
two 
distinct
hardware 
blocks 
to the loop: 
the 
block 
that measures
the oscillator 
frequency 
and 
the 
block that 
sets 
the
oscillator 
to 
frequency. 
The 
microprocessor 
system
closes 
the 
loop 
by det€rmining 
how 
much 
the 
oscillator
rnust 
b€  tuned 
to set 
the 
desired frequency. 
The
microprocessor 
indirectly 
counts 
the 1st 
LO, 
tunes 
it as
needed, and 
counts 
again.
The 
l st  LO Tuning 
Failure 
error 
message 
is
displayed wh€n 
the 
lst  LO has not 
been set 
correcuy
after a 
number 
of 
iterations. The number of 
times the
1st 
LO is counted 
and 
tuned 
varies with instrument 
set-
tings.
The 
l st LO 
Control 
Diagnostic Aid 
displays data 
on
the 
crt 
screen which can 
be used to determine which
part 
of 
the 
loop has 
failed. 
To display this data, 
press
<BIUE.SHIFT> 
PULSE STRETCHER 
and 
#3. th6n
select 
#1.
The 
first 
two 
lines 
list 
the 
voltage to b€ exp€cted at
the 
output 
of 
the 
lst  LO s€ction 
of 
the 
Center 
Fre-
quency 
Control 
and 
the 
voltag€ 
across the sense 
resis-
tor 
of 
the 
l st 
LO Driver. The nominal values are based
on the 
Desired 
lst 
LO Freq and 
the 
nominal 
tuning 
sen-
sitivity of 
the 
oscillator.
The DAG 
Set 
values 
are 
based 
on the setting 
of 
the
lst 
LO 
tuning DACs. 
The 
DAC Set 
values can 
differ
from the Nominal 
values 
because the 
system cannot be
exactly 
calibrated, 
tbe tuning sensitivity 
of the 
oscillator
is 
possibly 
not its nominal 
value, and the 
DACS will 
be
moved in 
an attempt 
to 
set 
the 
oscillator.
