Troubleshooting
Malfunctions may have simple causes but also may be caused by faulty components.
These troubleshooting instructions allow for locating the error causes down to board level and make the
instrument ready for use again by means of board replacement.
We recommend that the instrument be shipped to our experts in the service centers (cf. address list) for
module replacement and further error elimination.
WARNING
Do not plug or unplug boards prior to disconnecting them from ac supply!
Be careful not to cause short-circuits when measuring voltages!
The following utilities are provided in the R&S FSP for diagnostic purposes:
• Permanent monitoring of levels and frequencies in the instrument
• Selftest
• System error correction
Note: When problems occur, first check, whether any connections (cables, plug-in connections of
boards etc.) are damaged or wrongly connected.
