(4) Procedure
Starting characteristic: Test this at the ambient temperature
±
2
°
C in a vibration-free
place.
Step
Procedure
1
Set the change over switch (FREQ STD: INT/EXT) on the MF1601A counter rear panel to
EXT.
2
Set the power supply switch on the spectrum analyzer rear panel to On and then the Power
switch on the front panel to On.
3
Measure the frequency using the counter after 7 minutes has passed after turning the power
ON.
(Sample rate of the counter:
≥
20 sec, read out 0.1 mHz resolution)
4
Measure the frequency using the counter after 1 more hour have passed from the step 3
measurement.
5
Calculate the Starting characteristic by using the following equation.
Starting
characteristic
=
(reading of the counter after 7 minutes) – (reading of the counter after 1 hour)
(reading of the counter after 1 hour)
