Preparation for Use
This paragraph provides the 41800A operating check procedure and the
10:1/100:1 divider adjustment procedure.
The 41800A operating check procedure checks the probe gain using the
network/spectrum analyzer, a network analyzer, or a spectrum analyzer. These
operating check procedures are only intended to ensure that the 41800A is
functional. If the 41800A fails this check, it should be repaired. To verify that
the 41800A meets its specifications, perform the PERFORMANCE TEST
described in SECTION 4.
The 10:1/100:1 divider adjustments should be performed to minimize the
frequency response error due to the 10:1/100:1 dividers (furnished with the
41800A). Performing these adjustments are recommended before using the
10:1 and 100:1 dividers.
