Calibrating the Timing Markers (9510 only)
1.
Ensure that the 9500B is connected to the Power Meter as shown in Figure 22,
satisfies the equipment requirements in Equipment Requirements, and that both
instruments are powered on and warmed up.
2.
9500B: Ensure that the 9500B is in HEAD CAL, Other, Timing Marker.
3.
The following process takes you through TARGETs 1 - 3 in Table 44, repeating
amplitude calibrations for frequency points in TARGETs 4 - 9.
4.
9500B: Set Output ON.
5.
Power Meter: Select a range that gives an on-scale reading.
6.
Adjust the 9500B's output amplitude to give a reading equal to Target Amplitude
on the measuring device. The conversion from power to pk-pk voltage is pk-pk
Voltage =
√

7.
Press ACCEPT CALIB.
8.
Select the next TARGET and return to step 4; repeat until no TARGETs remain.
9.
Press NEXT FREQ then select TARGET 1 and return to step 4; repeat until no
TARGETs remain.
