1 Calibrating This chapter identi es the performance test procedures which test the electrical performance of the analyzer. Allow the analyzer to warm up in accordance with the temperature stability speci cations before performing the tests called out in this chapter. None of the test procedures involve removing the cover of the analyzer. Calibration Calibration veri es that the analyzer performance is within all speci cations. It is time consuming and requires extensive test equipment.
Calibration Cycle The performance tests in Chapter 2 should be used to check the analyzer against its speci cations once every year. Speci cations are listed in this calibration guide. The 300 MHz frequency of the CAL OUT signal must be checked at the same time and adjusted if necessary. Refer to the \10 MHz Frequency Reference Adjustment" procedure in the assembly-level repair service guide.
Performance Veri cation Test Tables The tables on the following pages list the performance tests in chapter 2. Select the analyzer option being calibrated and perform the tests marked in the option column. A dot indicates that the test is required for calibration. Note that some of the tests are used for both calibration and operation veri cation (marked with 4 5).

10 Customer Support Your EMC analyzer is built to provide dependable service. It is unlikely that you will experience a problem. However, Hewlett-Packard's worldwide sales and service organization is ready to provide the support you need. If You Have a Problem Before calling Hewlett-Packard or returning the EMC analyzer for service, please make the checks listed in \Check the Basics." If you still have a problem, please read the warranty printed at the front of this manual.
Check the Basics In general, a problem can be caused by a hardware failure, a software error, or a user error. Often problems may be solved by repeating what was being done when the problem occurred. A few minutes spent in performing these simple checks may eliminate time spent waiting for instrument repair. If Your EMC Analyzer Does Not Turn On Check that the EMC analyzer is plugged into the proper ac power source. Check that the line socket has power.
Error Messages Check the EMC analyzer display for error messages. Refer to Appendix A of the HP 8590 EM-Series EMC Analyzer Quick Reference Guide. If the EMC Analyzer with the RF Filter Section Does Not Seem to be Working Check that the ac power is connected to the system as described above in \If Your EMC Analyzer Does Not Turn On". Verify that the rear-panel auxiliary interface cable is properly connected. Verify that the rear-panel sweep ramp and high sweep cables are properly connected.

Note All items on the fax cover sheet must be completed in order to expedite your response. Any incomplete item may delay your response. Simply copy the fax cover sheet, ll out the requested information, include any additional information sheets, and fax the sheet(s) to HP EMC Support at (707) 577-4200. Depending on the complexity of the problem, you should receive a response back within a few days.
Returning the EMC analyzer for Service Use the information in this section if it is necessary to return the EMC analyzer to Hewlett-Packard. Note If you are returning an EMC analyzer with an RF lter section, you must package the units individually to avoid damage. Package the EMC analyzer for shipment Use the following steps to package the EMC analyzer for shipment to Hewlett-Packard for service: 1. Fill in a service tag (available at the end of this chapter) and attach it to the instrument.
Air Corporation (Hayward, CA 94545). Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet covered with 1-1/4 inch air- lled bubbles. Use the pink Air Cap to reduce static electricity. Wrap the instrument several times in the material to both protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton. 5. Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive tape. 6. Mark the shipping container \FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE" to ensure careful handling. 7. Retain copies of all shipping papers.
