3.Use the step keys to tune the CENTER FREQ to the values listed in Table 10-l.

4.As the sampling oscillator frequency is increased, the DVM reading should also increase. The voltage remains at approximately +5.5 Vdc. If the tune voltage is correct, but the ADC measures the voltage and determines it to be out of specification, troubleshoot the A3 assembly’s ADC MUX.

5.Disconnect W37 from A14J301.

6.Connect a test cable from W37 to the input of another spectrum analyzer. Tune the other spectrum analyzer to the following settings:

7.The amplitude of the 10 MHz reference signal should measure >-1 dBm. If the signal does not measure >-1 dBm, troubleshoot A15’s 10 MHz Distribution and A21 OCXO (if Option 003 is present).

8.Reconnect W37 from A14J301.

9.Connect the CAL OUTPUT to INPUT 50R.
