HP 8560A

7. If a correct signal is seen at A15TP201 but the signal at A15TPlOl is wrong, proceed as
follows:
.
Use an oscilloscope to measure the signals at the following test points:
A15J400 pin 1
t1.8 Vdc to t2.4 Vdc (LO.5 Vp-p variation)
A15J400 pin 3
-1.8 Vdc to -2.4 Vdc
(SO.5 Vp-p variation)
If these levels are wrong, perform the “Power and Sampler Match Adjustments” in the
Sampler Oscillator Adjustment procedure. Refer to Chapter 2.
If adjusting the Sampler Match does not bring the signal at
Al5TPlOl within
specification when the signal at A15TP201 is correct, the A15A2 Sampler is defective.
8. If the signal at A15TPlOl is correct, but the signal at A15JlOl is wrong, the fault lies in
the Sampler IF circuitry. Continue with the following steps.

11. Connect the microwave source to A15A2Jl.
12. Measure the signal at U103 pin 1 using an active probe/spectrum analyzer combination.
13. If a 94.7 MHz signal, approximately -14 dBm, is present, but the signal at A15JlOl is
low, suspect U103.
14. When U104 pin 3 is at TTL low, U104 pin 6 should near -15 Vdc and PIN diodes
CRlOl, CR102, and CR103 should be reverse-biased.
15. Set HP 8560A to the following settings:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

16. Check that
U104 pin 3 is at a TTL high and U104 pin 6 is greater than +7 V. PIN diodes
CRlOl, CR102, and CR103 should all be turned on with about 7 mA of forward current.
17. Disconnect the power splitter and reconnect W32 to A15JlOl.
