Keysight x-series Getting Started And Troubleshooting

5 Troubleshooting
Check the Basics
Check the Basics
– Is there power at the receptacle?
– Is the analyzer turned on? Check to see if the green LED beside the power switch
is on. Also, listen for internal fan noise to determine if the analyzer cooling fans
are running.
– If other equipment, cables, and connectors are being used with your signal
analyzer, make sure they are connected properly and operating correctly.
– If the analyzer cannot completely load or run the operating system, or the
instrument application is not successfully launched, the problem could be a
corrupt disk drive. If the analyzer gets far enough along in the boot process to run
the "Instrument Recovery System", perform the “Disk Drive Recovery Process” as
described on page 60.
– Is the Measurement Application running? If not, there is a software launch
shortcut/icon on the desktop.
– Does the instrument application have the focus? If not, move focus to the
application with Alt-Tab.
– Review the measurement procedures being performed when the problem first
appeared. Are all of the settings correct?
–
If the analyzer is not functioning as expected, return the analyzer to a known
state by pressing Mode Preset.
Some analyzer settings are not affected by a Preset. If you wish to reset the analyzer
settings, press System, Power On, Restore Power On Defaults.
– Is the measurement being performed, and the results that are expected, within
the specifications and capabilities of the analyzer?
Refer to the specifications guide for your analyzer.

–
If the analyzer is not communicating via the LAN connection, check for the
presence of blinking yellow LEDs on the rear panel LAN connector. If the ACT LED
is not blinking, check the LAN cable and LAN integrity.
–
To meet specifications, the analyzer must be aligned. Either the Auto Align (On)
feature must be selected (press System, Alignments, Auto Align, and select
Normal), or the analyzer must be manually aligned.
–
Perform an Alignment. Press System, Alignments, Align Now, Align All Now.
