I think it means Component Level Info ??  Paper / Package or ???

The CLIP will show component level info , Ie. schematics etc.
Instead of just block diagrams.

CLIP is an HP/Agilent term and stands for Component-Level Information Packet.

It's available for some old models of test gear, and contains parts manifest, PCB layouts, and schematics.  They were produced mostly in the HP days, and much more rarely during Agilent.  I haven't seen any issued by Keysight.

Sorry to raise this thread from the dead but I've just got my hands on my first "real" spec an, the 8594E with options 004, 119, 130, 010 and 041. I'm guessing that it's an upgrade to my current Rigol DSA815TG?

I'm terrified about losing the calibration data after reading these posts! Is there an idiots guide for how to copy them down on paper?

Thanks.

It's easy to do the backup procedure.  Just follow the step-by-step directions in the Assembly Level Repair Guide, publication #08590-90316, chapter 3.  And yes, it consists of writing the displayed calibration data on a piece of paper.

Current link for the manual:

  https://www.keysight.com/us/en/assets/9018-07842/service-manuals/9018-07842.pdf

In addition to renaming the publication part numbers, Keysight seems to rearrange their links often, so search for the publication number if this link goes bad.

That's perfect and much easier then I expected. It seems that I have to open it up to get the CALTGX constants off the tracking gen but that's no big issue.

I only have one error left to resolve and that's a "LO UNLVL" warning on the display. The service manual says:

LO UNLVL (U)(H)
Indicates that the analyzer local oscillator distribution amplifier is not
functioning properly. This message may appear on the 8592L, 8593E,
8594E, 8595E, and 8596E with Options 009/010, Option 009, or
Option 010.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix that?

Thanks.
