a. If the warning “Test Signal Timing Out of Lock” appears, cycle power to

the R2660 and set it up again to generate an in-bound 1x6 test signal at

the desired frequency and signal level into the Rx port. It may take a few

minutes for the R2660 test signal to stabilize.

b. If the only BER measurements reported are 50%, NO DATA, or both,

verify that all procedure steps have been completed. If no problems are

found, cycle power to the R2660 and set it up again to generate an in-

bound 1x6 test signal at the desired frequency and signal level into the

Rx port. It may take a few minutes for the R2660 test signal to stabilize.

If there's still no change after cycling power to the R2660, select the

Stop Test button.
