11.1.3. Using the Diagnostic Signal I/O Function
The signal I/O parameters found under the diagnostics (DIAG) menu combined with a thorough
understanding of the instrument’s theory of operation (Section 10) are useful for troubleshooting
in three ways:
• The technician can view the raw, unprocessed signal level of the analyzer’s critical inputs
and outputs.
• All of the components and functions that are normally under instrument control can be
manually changed.
• Analog and digital output signals can be manually controlled.
This allows the user to systematically observe the effect of these functions on the operation of
the analyzer.
Figure 11-2 shows an example of how to use the signal I/O menu to view the raw voltage of an
input signal or to control the state of an output voltage or control signal. The specific parameter
will vary depending on the situation. Please note that the analyzer will freeze it’s concentration
