192 Performance Tests Appendix G
SR860 DSP Lock-in Amplifier
Phase Accuracy
This test measures the phase accuracy of the lock-in. The phase accuracy is determined by measuring the
phase of the internal oscillator Sine Out.
Setup
Connect the Sine Out+ to the Voltage A input of the SR860 using a 24-inch BNC cable, with the
precision 50
Ω
feedthrough terminator at the A input BNC. This test only uses ONE Sine Out BNC.
Please note that the phase calibration is performed at the factory relative to a 24-inch RG-58 BNC cable,
with approximately 3 ns of propagation delay. Results will be show a significant dependence on cable
length. For example, using a 2 m long cable instead of the specified 24-inch cable will introduce an
additional 6.9 ns of propagation delay between sine output and signal input: at 500 kHz, this corresponds
to 1.25° of additional phase delay.
Procedure
1) {PRESET} (press [Save Recall], then touch {Recall default}. Touch {Confirm})
2) Use the front panel to make the following adjustments

3) The value of R (yellow) should be 0.05
0 V (±2%) and the value of θ (orange) should 0°
(±1°).
