What to do if Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator does not respond?
If the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator does not respond, it might be in remote mode. Press the Local Cancel/(Esc) button to exit remote mode.
How to fix no RF output on Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG?
If there's no RF output from your Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, and the RF ON/OFF LED is off, press the RF On/Off button to activate the output. Also, ensure the amplitude is within the generator's specified range and that marker polarity and routing settings are correct if a waveform is playing.
How to troubleshoot low RF output power on Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator?
If the RF output power is too low on your Keysight Technologies Portable Generator and the AMPLITUDE area of the display shows the OFFS indicator, press Amptd > More 1 of 2 > Amptd Offset > 0 > dB. If the AMPLITUDE area shows the REF indicator, turn off the reference mode. If pulse modulation is on, turn off the ALC, and check that pulse width is within specifications.
Why is there no modulation at the RF output of my Keysight Technologies Portable Generator?
If there is no modulation at the RF output of the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, check the Mod On/Off LED and the Off On softkey to ensure both are on. Also, make sure that the internal I/Q modulator is on. If using an external modulation source, verify that the external source is on and operating within the signal generator’s specified limits.
How to turn off sweep on Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator?
To turn off sweep on the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, press Sweep > Sweep > Off.
How to fix incorrect list sweep dwell time on Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator?
To correct an incorrect list sweep dwell time on the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, edit the dwell values. Also, ensure that the Dwell Type List Step softkey is set to List.
What to do if display turns black when using USB media on Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG?
If the display turns black when using USB media with your Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, this might be caused by removing the USB media while the instrument is using it. Cycle the instrument power to resolve this.
Why does sweep appear stalled on my Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator?
If the sweep appears stalled on your Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, check the current status of the sweep indicated in the progress bar. If the sweep is in single mode, press the Single Sweep softkey. If there is a missing sweep trigger, set Sweep Trigger to Free Run. If there is a missing point trigger, set Point Trigger to Free Run. If the dwell time was set incorrectly, set the dwell time to one second. If there are few points in the step sweep or list sweep, ensure that you set at least two points in the step sweep or list sweep.
What to do if Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG Portable Generator recognizes USB but does not display files?
If the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator recognizes the USB media connection but does not display files, the USB media may be incompatible. Try using a different USB media.
What to do if signal loss while working with a mixer and Keysight Technologies N5182B MXG?
If you are experiencing signal loss while working with a mixer and the Keysight Technologies Portable Generator, add attenuation and increase the RF output amplitude.
