HP 16532A - Performance Tests

3-12. TIME MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

This test uses a precise frequency source to check the accuracy of time measurement functions.

Specification:

±[(0.005% x Δt) + (2 x 10− 6 x delay setting) + 150 ps]

Equipment Required:

The following equipment is required for this test. Procedures are based on the model or part number rec- ommended.

		Recommended
Equipment Required	Critical Specification	Model/Part Number

Signal Generator	200 MHz, timebase accuracy 0.25 ppm	HP 8656B Opt. 001
Cable	50 Ω BNC (m to m) 48-inch	HP 10503A
Adapter	50 Ω Type N (m) to BNC (f)	HP 1250-0780

Procedure:

1.Set the signal generator to 181.81818 MHz (5.5 ns period) and approximately 600 mV rms.

2.Use the N-to-BNC adapter to connect the cable to the signal generator. Connect the free end of the BNC cable to the channel 1 input.

3.In the Waveform Selection menu delete channel 2. If channel 1 is not inserted, insert channel 1. Set the following parameters in the order given:

	Menu		Selection		Setting

Channel		Input		1
		Probe		1:1
		v/Div		400 mV

		Coupling		50	Ω / DC
		s/Div		2.00 ns
Trigger		Mode		Edge
		Source		Chan 1
		Level		0.0 V
		Slope		Positive
Display		Mode		Normal
		Grid		On
