HP Agilent Spectrum Analyzer 8595E CAL AMPTD error

Sure, it could be a fleeting glitch in that screen shot.

Poor to non-existent performance in the high band could also be the result of incorrect mixer bias.  I didn't see any mention that the mixer calibration was attempted (CAL MXR).

Guys thanks for all your replies, i will for sure check things later, but first have to wait a while for a good source which is maybe on the way.

but from what i compared to an 8594E as far as the band goes of course the 8595E is arround -6dBm low over the whole spectrum

ok i have two problems.  For one problem i got an other option 130 board  08591-60055 in and the tested that in the 8595E .. result Working now. 

This rises the next question is it possilbe to repair the board.
so i can use it in my 8594E. now i have two boards and i can compare for diagnosing.  i saw a lot of test points and this block diagram of the Narrow resolution bandwidths.

are there extender boards for these models SA?
connector type : AMP Brand 5-534204-5 on the card.  ( see picture )
connector type:  AMP Brand 5-102567-4 on the motherboard ( see picture ).  -> Connector Header Through Hole 60 position 0.100" (2.54mm)

If somebody can help me out with one or both of these connectors from a broken card or motherboard,  please pm me.


it is a start.

Hello. I purchased recently a 08591-60055 board. Do you think that works in a 8594E?
Thank you

About two months ago I bought and installed the 08591-60055 on an HP-8595E.
No problem at all!

And to assembly it, does it matter which slot is used? The part of my manual referring to “A130 Narrow Bandwidth Assembly” section of Foldout 11-1 is missing. Could you give me some indication for its correct assembly?
Thank you so much
