  • Page 18: Operator's Check

    Troubleshooting consists of performing the following Operator's Check. If the instrument does not perform within limits, return the instrument to the nearest Agilent Technologies office. Description The attenuator is driven from a 50-ohm signal source at 1 kHz. The output level from the attenuator is detected by a narrow-bandwidth voltmeter (that is, the SWR meter).
  • Page 19 3. Set the SWR Meter input to XTAL IMPED LOW and the range to 2 dB (expanded) for 355D or 355F or to 10 dB (with 0 dB expand) for 355C or 355E. Adjust its bandwidth to the center of the adjustment range.
