4-10 ALC SLOPE
CALIBRATION Models683XXB with Firmware Version 1.01 to 2.00
This procedure provides the steps necessary to perform ALC Slope
calibration. The ALC Slope DAC is calibrated to adjust for an increas-
ing or decreasing output power-vs-output frequency in the analog
sweep mode. The ALC Slope DAC has two calibrations—one for fre-
quencies £2 GHz and one for frequencies >2 GHz.
Equipment
Setup Connect the equipment, shown in Figure 4-6, as fol-
lows:
1. Interface the PC to the 683XXB by performing
the initial setup procedure, pages 4-7 to 4-12.
2. Using the Auxiliary I/O cable, connect the
683XXB rear panel AUX I/O connector to the 562
Network Analyzer AUX I/O connector.
3. Using the GPIB cable, connect the 562 Network
Analyzer DEDICATEDGPIB connector to the
683XXB IEEE-488 GPIB connector.
4. Connect the RF Detector to the 562 Network
Analyzer Channel AInput connector.
5. Connect the 683XXB RF OUTPUT connector to
the RF Detector via a 10 dB Attenuator.
