NOTE

You may need to adjust the RBW setting on the Spectrum Analyzer in order to see the >–50 dBc null.

CAUTION

When saving calibration data, turn- ing off the instrument before the $ prompt returns to the screen can cause all stored data to be lost.

c.Set up the Function Generator for a 99.8 kHz sine wave with an output level of 0.707 volts RMS (2 volts peak to peak). Use a frequency counter to verify the output frequency of your function generator is set to ￿1%.

d.On the Spectrum Analyzer, set the Span/Div to 50 kHz per division.

e.On the computer keyboard, use the ‘, 1, 2. and 3 keys to increment and the 7, 8, 9, and 0 keys to decrement the value of the DAC’s setting.

Start calibration by pressing an increment key.

f.While observing the first Bessel null (Figure

4-14) on the Spectum Analyzer display, adjust the value of the DAC’s setting to reduce the carrier level as low as possible.

g.When finished setting the DAC, press Q on the keyboard to exit the calibration routine.

h.Record step completion on the Test Record.

8.Store the calibration data as follows:

a.At the $ prompt, type: calterm 787 and press <ENTER>. (The $ prompt will appear on the screen whe the calibration data has been stored.)

b.Record step completion on the Test Record.
