Troubleshooting
7. YTF Preselector Control Logic Verification
Connect the mmcx end of the cable to A15J300, preselector tune output at the
upper left corner of A15 Front End Control Assembly.
Press Single on the analyzer. Verify the voltages in Table 4-15 as the center
frequency of the analyzer is changed.
If any of the preselector tune voltages do not match the levels in Table 4-15,
the most probable causes are a misaligned YTF or the A15 Front End Control
Assembly. Perform the YTF characterization (press System, Alignments, More,
Ad vanced, Characterize Preselector).
To further test the YTF control current, select Amps on the DVM and place the
positive lead of the DVM on one of the YTF Coil Current P8 pins and the other
DVM lead to the other Coil Current pin.
In order to properly measure the preselector tune output from the A15 Front End Control
Assembly, the following items are required:
— E9637A Banana plug to BNC (f) adapter
— E9632A BNC (M) to SMA (f)
— 8120-1460 Small coaxial cable SMA (m) to mmcx (m)

Tolerances can be used as a guideline. The true test is whether or not the analyzer will function
and meet published specification.
