Verifying frequency

To verify the Series 3700 frequency function:
1. Connect the Agilent 33220A function generator to the Series 3700 INPUT pins.
2. Set the function generator to output a 1kHz, 5V RMS sine wave.
3. Select the Series 3700 frequency function by pressing the FREQ key.
4. Verify that the Series 3700 each frequency reading is within the limits contained in the table
contained in Frequency verification data.
