      If something is displayed on the external monitor when it's connected to your Keysight Measuring Instruments, the problem is likely related to the LCD display. Also, check the A52 Front Panel I/F board because the ON/OFF setting of the LCD backlight is controlled by the A52 Front Panel I/F board.
