Procedure 1. Position instrument upright as shown in Figure 3-46 and remove top cover.

2.The validity of the results of this adjustment procedure is based in part on the performance of the Log Amplifiers, the Video Processor, and the Track and Hold. These adjustments must be done before proceeding with the adjustment procedure of the Step Gain and 18.4 MHz Local Oscillator.

3.Set instrument LINE switch to ON and press ~NSTR PRESET). Connect CAL OUTPUT to RF INPUT.

4.Key in [CENTER FREQUENCY] 20 MHz, [ R E F E R E N C E L E V E L ] - 1 0 dBm, (ATTEN) 0 dB, [FREQUENCY SPAN) 0 Hz, [-BW) 1 kHz, l-1 100 Hz, and [SWEEP TIME) 20 ms.
