Re: 8594E Cal Signal not Found ?
Mark, my 8594E only has 2ea firmware chips U24 & U27, is this normal? Everything I seem to find about this unit says 4 chips? I was trying to see if I had the latest firmware installed.

Fail over input board for the HP-5087A distribution amplifier
Recently saw a you tube video of an HP-5087A with an HP designed (I think) fail over amplifier board.
I have never seen any documentation on the board before.
The board takes a signal from two of the

Re: Intermittent REF UNLOCK error message on 8591A Spectrum Analyzer
Anders,
So, in green is the active bias stage, R66 serves as the current sense.
In my case, I have 5.186V, which means that the collector current of Q13 is

Re: 8594E Cal Signal not Found ?
The workaround for the "Cal Signal Not Found" error is covered in the Assembly Level Repair manual.
If you had to reload all the correction constants, I would start with the "Analyzer Initialization"

Re: HP 8594E new issue
Great, glad the sync reset worked!
It makes me wonder, however, if the CRT parameters were corrupt in SRAM, then what else might be corrupt? ?I would take a quick pass through the calibration

Thanky you for the valuable information Yves!
I have now checked a bit further and made sure the VTO_TUNE reached the A9 Third Converter assembly ok.

Re: Intermittent REF UNLOCK error message on 8591A Spectrum Analyzer
Hi,
I tested this with my 8591A.
I used an external generator for the 10 MHz reference.
I measured the 300 MHz signal returning to the A15 COUNTER LOCK module.
This way, I tested the path

Re: HP 8594E new issue
Odd that D13 would now be off.? We'll assume the 68230 and related circuitry is ok for the moment.
Along the same lines as what Yves suggested, you could also try resetting the CRT to DEFAULT

Re: RF Alignment Failure in Agilent CXA signal analyzer N9000A
Hi, Hardyhansendk.
Thank you for your response, As you mentioned about W9 cal signals, When I tested there I'm getting 50Mhz with -60dB not -25dB, it would be helpful if you share info regarding that.

All LEDs should go off once boot is complete and the initial hardware check is finished. ?D13 being left on indicates there is a problem with the 68230 (U57) Parallel Interface/Timer. ?See Table

Re: HP 8594E new issue
Hi,
I think you may have lost the calibration constants, at least the ones
related to the display.
You'll have to do a blind test.
