and record marker reading under
FREQ D of Table 2-3.
10. Repeat the span measurement procedure of steps 6 through 9 for
each frequency span listed in 2-3.
11. Determine the frequency difference between the two measured
points. Enter this value under the A DUT column in 2-3.
12. The frequency span error is the difference between A DUT and A
SYNTH. (See table 2-3 for values). Calculate the span error and
record it in
2-4.
13. Compare the table 2-4 to the span error value calculated in
step 12.
