Назначение
Генераторы сигналов высокочастотные N9310A (далее генераторы) предназначены для генерирования стабильных по частоте и мощности немодулированных электромагнитных колебаний и электромагнитных колебаний с различными видами модуляции в диапазоне частот от 9 кГц до 3000 МГц.
Описание
Принцип действия приборов основан на формировании задающего высокостабильного сигнала генератором опорной частоты (внутренним или внешним) и расширении частотного диапазона высокочастотным синтезатором. С выхода синтезатора сигнал поступает на усилитель и выходной аттенюатор, далее на выходной разъем. Кроме воспроизведения немодулированного сигнала предусмотрены режимы амплитудной, частотной, фазовой и импульсной модуляций (внутренней и внешней), режим качания частоты и уровня, режим векторной модуляции.
Генераторы выполнены в корпусе настольного исполнения. На передней панели генераторов расположены: жидкокристаллический дисплей для отображения режимов работы и значений параметров воспроизводимых сигналов; ряд кнопок, обеспечивающих выбор требуемых режимов работы и установку параметров; разъем основного выхода прибора для выдачи различных видов сигналов; разъем выхода низкочастотного генератора и разъем интерфейса дистанционного управления USB.
На задней панели генераторов расположены: разъем сетевого питания; разъемы внешнего запуска, выхода и входа сигнала опорной частоты 10 МГц (2 МГц, 5 МГц); разъемы для входа внешнего аналогового модулирующего сигнала, разъемы для входа внешних модулирующих сигналов векторной модуляции; разъемы USB интерфейса; разъем для подключения внешнего монитора.
Внешний вид генераторов и места заводского опломбирования представлены на рисунках 1 и 2.

Adott egy TR9193 táp. A szabályzó panelen lévő beállító potikkal (P1-P2), nem lehet beállítani a megadott max értékeket, csak ha a hozzá tartozó ellenállást (R10-R12) változtatom. De a gyári értékekkel nem jó. Az összes csatorna ilyen. Az alkatrészek leellenőrizve (ellenállás-dióda), ic kicserélve, több darabbal megnézve. Rendesen működik a fesz és áram limit is, csak a max értékek nem pontosak. Nem tudok lemenni a 30Vos résznél, az 5Vos résznél meg felmenni a maxig. Itt a fesz állítás jó, a 30Vosnál az se. Amit megfigyeltem, hogy a +- 14V helyett, ezek az értékek vannak: -15V +13V. Az elkókat is lecseréltem a biztonság kedvéért. Már nem tudom, merre mérjek ezek után.

Sziasztok!
A fenti műszer manuálját vagy rajzát keresem a következő okból: kontakt javítás miatt szétszedtem a kapcsoló tárcsát és a legnagyobb óvatosság ellenére egy érintkező kiesett a tárcsából, de nem tudom, hogy melyik helyről 
Még nagyítóval sem tudtam kideríteni, hogy honnan. A panelen megnéztem az érintkező íveket és mindenhol van ahol lennie kell érintkezőnek. Elképzelhető, hogy ez egy pótérintkező ?(bár kicsi az esélye)Köszi.
METEX 3650 be kellene az összes bennelévő IC,vagy egész belsőrész kijelző nélkül Üdv
«FONTOS! Olyan fórum téma nevet válassz, ami beszédes, minél pontosabban illeszkedik arra, amivel kapcsolatban írsz. Egy lehetséges jó elnevezés
