Chapter 4 Calibration

4-1

4-2

4-3

INTRODUCTION

This chapter contains procedures for calibrating the Series 682XXB/

 

683XXB Synthesized Signal Generators. These procedures are typi-

 

cally performed because out-of-tolerance conditions have been noted

 

during performance verification testing (see Chapter 3) or as a result

 

of replacement of subassemblies or RF components.

 

NOTE

 

The calibration procedures herein support operating firm-

 

ware versions as follows: series 682XXB models–Version

 

1.01 and above; series 683XXB models–Version 1.01 and

 

above; series 682X5B/683X5B models–Version 1.00 and

 

above. It is recommended that you upgrade your instru-

 

ment’s operating firmware to the latest available version

 

prior to calibration.

RECOMMENDED TEST

Table 4-1 (page 4-4) provides a list of the recommended test equipment

EQUIPMENT

for these calibration procedures.

 

The procedures refer to specific test equipment front panel control

 

settings when the test setup is critical to making accurate measure-

 

ments. In some cases, the user may substitute test equipment having

 

the same critical specifications as those on the recommended test

 

equipment list.

 

Contact your local ANRITSU service center (Refer to Table 1-5 on page

 

1-18) if you need clarification of any equipment or procedural refer-

 

ence.

TEST RECORDS

A blank copy of a sample calibration test record for each 682XXB/

 

683XXB model is provided in Appendix A. Each test record contains

 

model-specific variables called for by the calibration procedures. It

 

also provides a means for maintaining an accurate and complete

 

record of instrument calibration. We recommend that you copy these

 

pages and use them to record the results from (1) your initial calibra-

 

tion of out-of-tolerance 682XXB/683XXB circuits, or (2) your initial

 

calibration of the 682XXB/683XXB following replacement of subassem-

 

blies or RF components. These initial readings can be used later as

 

benchmark values for future tests of the same serial-numbered

 

instruments.
