Operation

Band Selection

Use the following key sequence to enter the external mixing mode and to select the desired band of operation:

MENU

Select Input - choose external mixer input, for example: “IN 2 EM 70910A”

State

ext mixer

fulband KAQUVE

Press the softkey for the desired band.

NOTE

The above band selection key sequence must be used to enter the external

 

mixing band of operation. Do not enter in the center frequency of the band

 

directly.

 

 

Amplitude Calibration for a Single Frequency

Enter the conversion loss at the desired frequency from either the calibration label on the end of the Agilent 11970 or the supplied calibration sheet by using the following key sequence:

State

ext mixer

CONV LOSS

Enter the conversion loss value of the desired frequency, then terminate the entry with dB.

NOTE

The above procedure is a single-point conversion-loss correction. For an

 

alternative procedure, available by remote programming only, refer to

 

“Conversion Loss Versus Frequency Correction” on page 43.
