Perform Calibration
The following contains information to help in using and maintaining
the instrument for optimum operation, including alignment,
external reference, firmware update and option activation.
The N932xC 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 dBm signal to EXT TRIG IN.
Press [System] > Service > Calibration > Time Base by Ext to initiate
2
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.
