Check timebase and delay time accuracy and reference.
Equipment Required
Prerequisites
One timer-counter (Item 8)
One 50 Ω, precision coaxial cable (Item 4)
One SMA male-to-female BNC adapter (Item
19)
One sine wave generator (Item 9)
(See
on page 116.)
Figure 26: Timebase and delay time initial test hookup
1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
a. Hook up the test-signal source
: Connect the input of the timer-counter to
AUX Out
(<4 GHz models) or reference output (≥4 GHz models). (See
Figure 26: Timebase and delay time initial test hookup
■
Set the timer-counter gate to 1 s.
■
Set the timer-counter to count the 10 MHz reference output.
b. Initialize the instrument:
Press the
Default Setup
button.
c.
<4 GHz models: Display menu mode. Select Utilities > External Signals
and press
Ref Out
.
2. Confirm the time base is within limits for accuracies:
a. Check long-term sample rate, delay time accuracies, and reference
output frequency:
■
CHECK that the count on the timer-counter is within limits. (See
Long term sample rate, delay time, and internal reference accuracy
in the test record.)
■
Enter the count on the test record.
