Test
Equipment
Table 3-l summarizes the equipment required to run the Frequency Response Adjustment
procedure. The adjustment can use various model numbers of a particular equipment type.
Information about selecting the equipment model number you want to use is provided in
“Setting HP-IB Addresses” in this chapter under “Frequency Response Adjustment Software.”
Note
The validity of the Frequency Response Adjustment depends in part on
required test equipment measurement accuracy. Verify proper calibration of
test equipment before adjusting the analyzer with the software.
Warmup Time
Test Equipment Warmup
Allow sufficient warmup time for test equipment. Refer to their individual operating and
service manuals for warmup specifications.
Spectrum Analyzer Warmup
Warm the spectrum analyzer up for at least fifteen minutes before performing the first
