Digital hardware is verified during the Power On Self Test.
Last Updated: August 29, 2007
The Diagnostics application verifies the analog hardware and identifies faulty hardware at the replaceable assembly level.
High level diagnostics are performed for the following assemblies:
Real Time Processor
Base Band Processor
Motherboard / Midplane board
Upconverter / Attenuator #1
Upconverter / Attenuator #2 (if installed)
RFIO
Downconverter / Reference

Digital hardware is verified during the Power On Self Test. |
The difference between Diagnostics and Self Test is that Diagnostics is a licensed application and identifies any faulty analog hardware in the test set and Self Test provides a pass/fail result only.

Do not make any setting changes to the test set during Diagnostics operation. Sending SCPI over LAN commands to the test set or switching applications while Diagnostics is running will cause incorrect results for Diagnostics. Errors will be generated requiring you to close the E6601A Wireless Communication Test Set program and restart it. |
When Diagnostics are performed a detailed log is saved on the test set's hard drive in the DiagLog.txt file.
The DiagLog.txt file shows detailed information about each Diagnostic test.
You can view the DiagLog at:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\E6601A\DiagData\DiagLog.txt
The Diagfile.txt contains a summary of the Diagnostic tests. It contains pass/fail information and any faulty analog hardware modules are identified without the detail shown in the DiagLog.txt.
You can view the Diagfile at:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\E6601A\DiagData\Diagfile.txt
In the DiagData file you will see the current results listed in the DiagLog.txt and Diafile.txt files as well as the previous results in the DiagLog.txt.bak and Diagfile.txt.bak files.
