14.5 Adjusting the Time Base
CAUTION
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum input voltage to the input
terminals of each instrument. This may cause damage to the input section.
• Do not apply external voltage to the output terminals of each instrument. This
may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
Instruments Required
Prepare the following instruments.
• Standard frequency generator
• Frequency accuracy:
0.1 ppm or better
• Recommended instrument: FC6011B Rb Atomic Oscillator (by Fujitsu), or
HP5065A (by Agilent Technologies)
• Frequency counter
• Frequency resolution:
1 Hz or better
• Recommended instrument: TA1100 Time Interval Analyzer (by YOKOGAWA)
The procedure for adjusting the time base (reference clock) using the
recommended instruments is described below.
Connecting the Instruments
• Check that the power switch is turned OFF on all instruments before connecting the
instruments.
• Connect the output of the standard frequency generator to the REFERENCE IN (rear
panel) terminal of the frequency counter (TA1100) and measure using the external
reference frequency.
• Using a BNC cable, connect the 10MHz OUT terminal on the rear panel of the TA720
to the CH A input terminal of the frequency counter (TA1100).
