Hello All

?

I have a hp 141t when it is powered up there is no trace but when I turn off the power the trace briefly appears in top right corner.

Is it the blanking circuit or do I need to do an trace? alignment or something else. I need some guidance

?

Has anyone encountered this problem before and let me know what you did.

What happens when you press find beam???

Checked the deflection plate voltages?

Leroy,

?

The first thing I would do is check to see that all of the basic supply voltages are in spec.? Also check to see that the base line clipper is fully CCW.? I would put in the calibrator signal into the RF input and tune to about 30MHz.? Let us know what happens.

Leroy,
?
It would be helpful to get some information to help you.? Is this symptom occurring with the plug-in installed or without?? Do you see the trace when depress the beam finder???
?
If you still have the plug-in installed (whether that be an SA or oscilloscope), I would remove it.? Confirm that the 141T is good.? Check your LV and HV voltage rails - make sure they are inspect.? You'll have to confirm all that first anyway before troubleshooting the blanking circuit.
?
Let us know what you find.
