HP8563E question

[chipso]

Hello everyone !
I have just logged in and i am new in this forum.
I bought a HP8563E in the bay - it seems very good to work
- but the first time it is switched on (when cold) it takes about 30 seconds to start up.
When warm, it seems to work normally (start-up 5-10 sec.)
Is this normal or a sign of a beginning defect?
Thank's
John

I've just tried my 8563A. This takes about 30 seconds from powering on to finishing its start up routine.

Thank you for your prompt reply
*** Great ***
The part has only the option 5 - maybe I find a way to expand the options.

is there a way to read the operating hours of the HP8563E?

Thank's KJDS

Front panel key "Recall", look for the option "Elapsed Time" - It's on the second page.

Mine has over 32K hours of run time so far - Good units.

NP - Happy to help - You should grab the manuals from Keysight as they're actually PDF outputs from the original authoring files so they're very readable (but lack graphics).

i have downloaded some pdf like this:
Service Guide
Agilent Technologies
8561E/EC and 8563E/EC
Spectrum Analyzers
Part Number: 08563-90214

does anyone have the schematics?
are they available as pdf?

You want the CLIPs for that (basically a component level service manual). They're available for purchase from ArtekManuals.com - I've bought a bunch of manuals from them, they're officially licensed by Keysight to provide high quality searchable scans of HPAK manuals.

Check them out.
