Appendix B - Fitting/Calibrating/Testing New Modules 3 If Optical Modules are ﬁtted (option UH1, UH2 or URU), unscrew the optical shield from each input and output connector. 4 Withdraw the outer cabinet sleeve back and out of the instrument. 5 Remove the clamp screws along the top and bottom right-hand side of the chassis which secure blanking plates and modules.
Page 389: Jitter Transmitter Module Calibration
The Jitter Transmitter Calibration is semi-automatic and is performed by using a special internal calibration routine and a Spectrum Analyzer. The HP 37717C TX PDH OUTPUT is connected to the Analyzer (via 75 /50 ] Matching Pad) and set to the ﬁrst calibration point in the routine. With the Analyzer set to display the transmitted data spectrum, a Bessel Null should be observed.
