Troubleshooting
If any of the preselector control currents do not match the levels in Table 4-16,
the most probable causes are a misaligned YTF or the A15 Front End Control
Assembly. Perform the YTF characterization (press System, Alignments,
Ad vanced, Characterize Preselector) and re-check the control current at
various center frequencies.
In order to measure the control current correctly, press Restart on the
analyzer in between each measurement.

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