Instrument Self-Test
Instrument Purpose Debug tips Possible faults
Test point voltages Checks that all of the supply voltages 
are present
Replace the PSU to see if this clears 
the faults
PSU (low probability)
Main board (high 
probability)
Calibrator Verifies that the calibrator is working
(Note: This test does not check that 
the calibrator meets its 
specifications)
Check/reseat that cable between the 
calibrator assembly and the main 
board
Attempt to adjust the 1 mW power 
reference level
Calibrator assembly 
(high probability)
Main board (low 
probability)
Fan Verifies that the fan is working Check/reseat the cable between the 
fan assembly and the main board
Check visually if the fan is functioning 
Fan assembly (high 
probability)
Main board (low 
probability)
RTC battery Checks that the lithium manganese 
battery on the main board is working
Replace the battery to see if this 
clears the fault
Lithium manganese 
battery (high 
probability)
Main board (low 
probability)
CW path/ChA CW path Verifies that the average path of 
channel A is working 
(Note: This does not prove that the 
average path meets its 
specifications)
Not applicable Main board
ChB CW path Verifies that the average path of 
channel B is working
(Note: This does not prove that the 
average path meets its 
specifications)
Not applicable Main board
