I did find out that when placing a high-pass filter in series
with a low-pass filter especially when limiting them to
using only resistors and capacitors, that they won't
work correctly. There is that low pass filters
resistor to ground with affects the high
pass filter (the first one).

Looking into making
and active bandpass
now.
 
Post Script:

Eventually I discovered when placing two filters in series, they function
slightly different that just one filter. So while I finally got the R&S UPD
to function properly, the result was different than the simulated Bode plot.

It is shown here at the Un-Band Bandpass Filter.

Making a change to the initial capacitor
resulted in these measurements in the Band Pass filter Test Data Compilation.
I think it almost worked, but the data act as though there was no
high pass filter, or perhaps it just shows the resonance
and steadily decreased.

Verified with Tek 2246MODA Scope

This is not anymore very much UPL/UPD related but I let it go here.
For simple RC filter you need low Z drive and Hi Z load to get the ideal filter response. Low and high are relative to the filter component reactances.

UPD 5 ohm Gen and 200k load are good for playing. When you connect two RC filters in series you need buffer amplifier in between. For your tests unity gain opamp will do this job. Happy learning.

If people are interested in the service manual, i scanned it in once and have a pdf readily available.

The same as for the software. Both DOS and the upl software.

I replaced the backlight with a ledstrip, easy to install and 12volts is coming in from the old backlight. Remove the high voltage converter and you’re done.
