HP 8594E - AMPTD CAL : GAIN FAIL FOLLOWED BY "CAL SIGNAL NOT FOUND"


 

Hi group ! I will start by saying that I really messed up here. I hope I will find help.

I noticed one day that my Analyzer was not reading the right amplitude in the 100Mhz range. It did read the correct amplitude at 300Mhz from the CAL output signal.

I decided to run the AMPTD CAL but it stopped with this error : AMPTD CAL : GAIN FAIL SRQ 110

Without fully reading the manuals, I then tried to run the CAL by centering to -37Hz. The AMPDT CAL then never finishes (after 12 hours of running).

I then restored the default CAL (I do have pictures of the CALS before I reloaded the default factory CALS).

?

Now, I can't run the CAL process without entering -37Hz because I get "CAL SIGNAL NOT FOUND" which is a documented problem during the calibration of the instrument, the workaround being to do the CAL by centering to -37Hz before.

?

Well, since centering to -37Hz is not working and now my CAL OUT at 300Mhz reads -50dbm instead of -20dmb, what can I do to fix this ?

?

If I could get back to the primary issue, which gave me the "AMPDT GAIN FAIL" (which is the DAC gain set to 255 but amplitude reading is not within specs), I could restart from where the real issue was.

Thanks.
