Model 3585A
Adjustments
r. Enter : I dB/Div.
s. Adjust A1 5R7 for a marker amplitude reading of + 27 .00dBm.
t. When adjusting the -50, -70, -90 and - 1 00dB points on the Log Linearity curve it is im
portant to have the A14 board in the card nest . To do the required adjustments simply
remove the A14 board, adjust the variable resistor and replace the board in the card nest to
check the results of the adjustment .
