N O T E
This test is only valid for the 86100C option 001.
Ensure that the pattern lock and eyeline mode are functioning correctly by testing the divide by 2
and divide by N on the counter board. Using the auto-detect function and selecting specific fre-
quencies will determine if these dividers are working properly. Test Limits.
