When the calibration has been performed and the results are saved to the EEPROM
(regardless of the item, all results are saved to the EEPROM on the MIO board),
the flag under Is Calibrated will be set to TRUE. If the calibration was successful,
the Status field will display PASS. If the calibration failed, FAIL will be displayed.
There are two types of calibration: Self calibration and Manual calibration.
Self calibration - The instrument performs the calibration item and ends
automatically.
Manual calibration - This calibration item requires external devices and
manual data input. (See Table 3-2 on page 3-2.)
A warning message is displayed if you click a calibration button without waiting
for 20 minutes after the instrument powered on. Click the Cancel button and
allow at least 20 minutes for the instrument to warm up.
This procedure adjusts the built-in TCXO oscillator frequency for the 10 MHz
Reference Output.
Required equipment
One frequency counter
One 50 Ω BNC cable
1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
a. Use the 50 Ω BNC cable to connect the 10 MHz Reference Output
connector (on the AWG instrument rear panel) to the channel 1 connector
on the frequency counter. (See Figure 3-2.)
