3. Press Run Complete Self Test.
While the self- test is running, an activity bar is displayed on the screen indicating the test
progress.
If Abort is pressed while the self- test are running, the following message will be displayed:
• The current status of the self-test is: Incomplete. Not all tests have been run.
When the self- test is complete, one of the following messages will be displayed:
• The current status of the self-test is: Passed
• The current status of the self-test is: Failure. One or more tests have failed.
System diagnostics indicate this test as the root failure: xxx
The number of tests that passed and failed are displayed in the lower left- hand corner of the display.
If the signal generator fails only one test, the display shows the title of the failed test. If the signal
generator fails more than one test, the test number of the most significant failure is shown.
Self-Test Failure
If a self- test failure occurs, perform the following procedure:
1. Make sure all external cables, including GPIB, LAN, and RS- 232 cables, are disconnected from the
signal generator and perform the self- test again.
2. If the self- test continues to fail, send the signal generator to an Keysight service center for repair,
with a detailed description of the failed test(s) and any other error messages that appeared on
the display.
See “Returning a Signal Generator to Keysight Technologies” on page 11 for return instructions.
Checking the Maximum Leveled Power
Perform the following procedure to check the maximum leveled power.
1. Press Preset.
2. Attach a 50Ω load to the RF OUTPUT. A power sensor, attenuator, or 50Ω termination is an
example of a 50Ω load.
3. Press RF On/Off. The RF On annunciator is now displayed.
4. Press Mod On/Off. The Mod Off annunciator is now displayed.
5. Press Amplitude and enter a value from Table 3-1, Table 3-2, or Table 3-3 that is applicable to your
instrument model and option configuration.
NOTE Some typical option configurations and their maximum output power limits are shown in
Table 3-1, Table 3-2, or Table 3-3. For the complete matrix of options or for the latest changes
to specifications, refer to the PSG data sheets either on the web at
http:\\www.keysight.com\find\psg or on the documentation CD that was shipped with your
instrument.
