Test method
• Test the TA120E after 30 minutes of warm-up.
• Set the frequency of the 8657B to the values indicated in the table below.
Determine the ratio of the amplitude for 5.16 MHz and 10 MHz with respect to the
amplitude for 300 kHz with the TA120E set to the equalizer test mode within the
maintenance mode. Confirm that the ratios are within the allowable range shown
in the table below.
• This test is a simplified test. To accurately check the frequency characteristics of
the equalizer, perform the test using a spectrum analyzer as described in section
8.7, “Adjusting the Equalizer.”
Test procedure
1.
Set the output level of the 8657B to 225 mV
rms
and the frequency to 300 kHz.
2.
Start up the TA120E in the maintenance mode and press the DATA key. The
characters [EQLZ] appear on the display, and the TA120E enters the equalizer
test mode.
3.
Press the > key. The peak value of the amplitude is measured 10 times, and
the average is shown on the display. Every time the > key is pressed the peak
value is measured, and the average value is shown on the display.
4.
Set the frequency of the 8657B to the values indicated in the table below, then
perform the test in a similar fashion.
5.
Press the < key. The TA120E returns to the maintenance mode.
