Hello!
I´ve got a question to the 5370 experts on the list.
I just received my new (old...) HP5370a. It performed fine for abt. one hour,
then it started to display error 04 which means "PLL out of lock".
A look in the service manual revealed that there are several reasons for this.
I checked the VCO voltage on both interpolator cards, and indeed, one of them
is out of the specified -6V..-3V, it runs to the rail (-12V). Even if the error
is not there, the voltage is at abt. -7 V, so I guess it´s just on the edge.
The other card is fine.
Normally, I´d try the alignment procedure, but I´m missing the exotic HP pulse
generator used for the alignment and I have no clue how I could easily
substitute this one.
Did anyone encounter this problem before? Is there a cure for this problem
known to the experts? Any hints are highly appreciated...
Thanks a lot,
Matthias, DK4YJ
