Internal timebase verification 

This test verifies the output frequency accuracy of the 3390. A single generated frequency provides 
all of the output frequencies.  

1.  Connect a frequency counter as shown below (the frequency counter input should be terminated 

at 50 

Ω). 

Figure 1: Frequency counter connection 

 

2.  Set the instrument to the output (found in the table below) and measure the output frequency. Be 

sure the instrument output is enabled.

*The error is ±100 Hz within 90 days of calibration, or ±200 Hz within one year. 

 

3.  Compare the measured frequency to the test limits shown in the table.
