Frequency Range and Accuracy Check

Frequency Range and Accuracy Check
The frequency range is tested by determining the frequency accuracy relative
to the timebase at the frequency limits of the signal generator. This test can be
performed with a frequency counter that meets the frequency accuracy limits
in

Frequency Counter Procedure

Test Setup 1. Connect the equipment as shown.
2. Preset the signal generator: Press Preset.
3. Turn modulation off: Press the Mod On/Off so that the MOD On/Off LED
4. Set the amplitude:
5. Turn RF on: Press RF On/Off so that the RF On/Off LED lights.
6. Verify that the frequency counter is locked to the 10 MHz external
7. For maximum accuracy, set the gate time on the frequency counter to >5
8. Set the frequency: Press Frequency and set the signal generator to the
9. Confirm that the measured frequency is within the limits listed.
