Hi,
I have the following problem with a n9010a spectrum analyzer.
After the alignment process finish I can see the message error "Align Now, All Required". Then I select all alignment in system>align>align all and I can see the following message error "RF Alignment Failure".
This problem started after 2 month of use without problems.
Following I attach two pictures.
Can you help me?
Emiliano
There is a text file in the instrument that contains an output of the alignment status. You can find this at E:AlignDataStorage\AlignmentHistory.txt in the instrument. While this will give you some information about what is causing the failure you may need help with it. You can find some information about this in the instrument service guide, which you can download from http://www.keysight.com/find/exa_support.
If you need further help you can call Keysight support.

Hi MIke,
Thanks for the reply. I am facing the same issue. I checked the Alignment History and I have error messages as below.
Reason -> AutoAlignment
.....
BurstCarrierTriggerCurveFitLiteAlignmentAlgorithm: FAILED
- Align error - Agilent.SAPhysics.Alignment.BurstCarrierTriggerCurveFitLiteAlignmentAlgorithm: Measurement Data Error - alignment hit DAC limit
Reason -> AlignAllNow
.....
AifVariableAttenuatorLiteAlgorithm: FAILED
- Align error - Agilent.SAPhysics.Alignment.AifVariableAttenuatorLiteAlgorithm: Measurement Data Error - calibrator signal level is too low (possible problems with calibrator HW)
What can be the next step to solve this alignment issue? Could you give some guidance?
Thanks.
