To run self test, press Shift and System (8) and then Self Test. Refer to the results window in Figure: Self Test Results Window (Vector Network Analyzer mode), which summarizes the status of several key functions in the instrument that are common to all applications (note that your instrument display may differ from this image). If any subtest shows FAILED, then check that the battery level is adequate for operation, or check that the temperature is within acceptable limits. Reset to factory defaults with either Factory Defaults (Esc + On), or Master Reset (System + On).
Caution
Use of Master Reset (System + On), will permanently erase all user saved setups and measurement traces and will return the VNA Master to a full Factory Default condition. Be sure to make backup copies of any important files before proceeding with a Master Reset. If the error persists, contact your Anritsu Service Center.

Application Self Test (Vector Network Analyzer mode only)
To run the application self test, press Shift and System (8) and then Application Self Test from within the desired mode. When you are in Vector Network Analyzer mode, you will see the results window that is shown in Figure: Application Self Test Results Window (Vector Network Analyzer mode) (note that your instrument display may differ from this image), which summarizes the status of several key functions that are specific to this application.
If the Overall Status shows Failed, then one or more elements of the Application Self Test have failed. This self test consists of 4 subtests:
Power Supply Test
Lists any power supply voltages that are not meeting tolerance specification
VCO Calibration
Lists any frequency range over which the VCO calibration is failing
Frequency Sweep
Lists any frequency range over which errors in the sweep are occurring
EEPROM
Indicates whether reading or writing (or both) to the EPPROM has failed
If any of the subtests shows FAILED, then check that the battery level is adequate for operation or that temperature is within acceptable limits. Reset to factory defaults with either Factory Defaults (Esc + On), or Master Reset (System + On).
Caution
Use of Master Reset (System + On), will permanently erase all user saved setups and measurement traces and will return the VNA Master to a full Factory Default condition. Be sure to make backup copies of any important files before proceeding with a Master Reset. If the error persists, contact your Anritsu Service Center.
