d.
Set HP 8660C to output a 100 MHz sinewave,
varying the HP 86603A vernier until the HP 436A
power Meter reads -24 dBm, ±0.3 dBm. Adjust A1R34
for a stable display of 100.00000 MHz, ±10 Hz.
e.
Vary the frequency range from 90 MHz to 1000
MHz and ver:fy the HP 5385A displays the correct
count.
f.
Turn the HP 5385A and the HP 8660C off and
disconnect all test equipment.

Standard Oscillator Adjustment Procedures
5-20.
The procedure used for adjusting the standard
oscillator is the same as the procedure used for ad-
justing the TCXO at 25°C described in paragraph 5-23.
Refer to paragraph 5-23 for adjustment procedure.
5-21.
TCXO Adjustment Procedure
5-22.
Two procedures are given for the adjustment
of the TCXO (Temperature compensated Crystal
Ocsillator). If the operation of the counter will be
solely at 25°C (77°F), then adjust the oscillator fre-
quency as close as possible to 10 MHz using the
procedure in paragraph 5-23.
If
the operation of the
counter will be over the full temperature range (0°C
to 40°C) then the TCXO must be offset by the amount

Adjustments
labeled on its cover to keep the TCXO frequency
within the manufacturers frequency specifications
over the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. In this
case use the procedure in paragraph 5-28. The TCXO
is factory set for use near 25°C.

Adjustment of the TCXO at 25°C
NOTE
Allow 30 minutes warm-up time for the counter.
a.
Connect a house standard (reference frequency)
to the EXT TRIGGER input of an HP 1740A Oscillo-
scope as shown in Figure 5-6. Set the HP 1740A
oscilloscope to EXT (trigger).
b.
Connect the HP 5384A/HP 5385A rear panel10
MHz REFERENCE IN OUT to the channel A input of
the HP 1740A oscilloscope as shown in Figure 5-6.
c.
Select I NT with the 10 MHz REFERENCE I NT EXT
select switch on the rear of the instrument (see Figure
5-7).
d.
Adjust the frequency for minimum sideways
movement of the 10 MHz signal with the OSC ADJ
located on the rear of the instrument (see Figure 5-7).
For the Standard Oscillator, the same rear panel
location is used to adjust A1C66, the standard oscil-
lator fine adjustment capacitor.
If
A1C66 does not
have enough range to minimize movement, adjust
