4-10 Troubleshooting
Circuit gain
Table 4-1 summarizes the circuit gain factors for the various ranges.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting information for the various circuits is summarized below. Use the
“Principles of operation” on page 4-4 and the component layouts at the end of Section 6 as aids
in troubleshooting.
Display board checks
If the front panel DISP test indicates that there is a problem on the display board, use
Table 4-2.
