164 Digitizers Adjustments Appendix E

Adjustment Procedures

WARNING Do not perform any of the following adjustments unless you
are a qualified, service-trained technician, and have read
the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this manual. Adjustment
procedures should be performed in the order shown in
this manual.
Adjustment
Conditions
See Table D-1, Recommended Test Equipment, for test equipment
requirements. For optimum performance, all adjustment procedures should
comply with following test conditions:
Ambient temperature of the test area is between 18°C and 28°C
and stable to within ±1oC.
Ambient relative humidity of the test area is <80%.
Must have a one hour warm-up with all input signals removed.
Shielded twisted Teflonâ insulated cable or other high impedance,
low dielectric absorption cable is recommended for all
measurements.
Keep cables as short as possible. Long test leads can act as an
antenna causing pick-up of ac signals and contributing to
measurement errors.
General Procedure Follow each adjustment by a performance verification test for added
confidence. We recommend the following general procedure.
1. Perform the Zero Adjustment Procedure
2. Perform the Gain Adjustment Procedure(s)
3. Perform the Performance Verification Tests.
CAUTION ORDER OF ADJUSTMENTS REQUIREMENT. Range adjustments
MUST be performed in the order given in the adjustment table. An
accurate range adjustment requires the range adjustments prior to
the one in progress be within specification.
CAUTION ZERO ADJUSTMENT REQUIREMENT. The zero adjustment must
be a recent adjustment prior to performing the gain adjustments. It
is recommended you perform the zero adjustment one time just
before performing the gain adjustments.
