Personal Computer with Microsoft Windows version 3.1 (or greater) installed and fitted with National Instruments PCIIA GPIB Interface Card

Vero 203-304014B VXI Mainframe Racal 1260-00C GPIB Slot 0

IFR 3002 executable Soft Front Panel, part number 59000-286

*Option 037 is necessary to measure SSB phase noise.

**The distortion option of the 2305 Modulation Meter allows modulation distortion tests to be carried out with greater ease. If a 2305 with the distortion option is not available, the audio analyzer may be connected to the modulation meter LF output and set to measure distortion.

Executable soft front panel software

The acceptance test procedures use the supplied executable soft front panel as the user interface for the 3002 VXI Signal Generator.
