Anritsu 373XXA - Manual (Page 88)

If calibration fails:
q Verify the GPIB cable is connected to the Dedicated GPIB (bot-
tom) connector on the 373XXA rear panel.
q Verify that the frequency counter is functioning correctly, the ca-
ble is in good condition, and all connections are secure.
q Note which calibration step failed from the screen messages.
q Repeat the calibration. If it still fails, then go to Chapter 5, Trou-
bleshooting.

RF POWER/ALC
CALIBRATION This procedure uses the 373XXA internal diagnostics and calibration
menus, in conjunction with a suitable power meter, to adjust the out-
put power level of the signal source throughout the range of the
373XXA model being calibrated. Perform this calibration procedure if:
q The Source Power/ALC test in Chapter 3, Operating Test, fails.
q Other testing or troubleshooting reveals a possible problem with
RF Power accuracy or the ALC loop.
q Any of the following assemblies are replaced:
n A21A1 Source YIG/Bias
n A21A2 Source Controller
n Down Converter
n YIG Oscillator
n Switched Filter
n Transfer Switch
n SDM (37369A)
n Coupler (37325A and above)
n Bridge (37317A and below)
n Port 1 Source Step Attenuator
n Buffer Amplifier
q BBRAM chip on the A9 Processor PCB is replaced and the
Source Calibration Data was not previously saved on disk (thus
data could not be recalled from disk).
