The following contains information to help in using and
maintaining the instrument for optimum operation, including
alignment, external reference, firmware update and option
activation.

Perform Calibration

The N9322C provides three manual calibration function to
calibrate the time base and amplitude. The analyzer should
warm up for 30 minutes before calibration.
Time Base Calibration
Perform a time base calibration to guarantee the frequency
accuracy. The analyzer should warm up for approximately
30 minutes before calibration.
When the calibration is triggered, the current measurement
is interrupted and a gauge displays on the LCD. The gauge
simply indicates calibration is in process. When it is
finished, the interrupted measurement restarts.
Please refer to the operation procedures as below:
1 Input a 10 MHz, 0 dBn signal to EXT TRIG IN.
2 Press [System] > Service > Calibration > Time Base by Ext to
initiate the calibration.
Time base calibration takes only a short time when the inner
temperature is stable. When the inner temperature is
increasing, calibration takes a long period of time or will
fail. If the input reference signal is abnormal, the calibration
cycle will take a long and unpredictable time to exit, and the
LCD displays an error message.
