Test
Procedure

The following procedure tests both the coarse and
fine loops to verify the accuracy of the CW frequency
output.

Step 1

Set up the 681XXC as follows:

a. Reset the instrument by pressing

SYSTEM

, then

RESET

. Upon reset,

the CW Menu (below) is displayed.

b. Press

Edit F1

to open the current fre-

quency parameter for editing.

c. Set F1 to the first test frequency for

the model being tested (Table 5-2A is
the test record for standard models;
Table 5-2B for models with Option 11).

Step 2

Verify that the Frequency Counter read-
ing meets specifications (

±100 Hz of the

value shown on the test record for stan-
dard models;

±10 Hz for instruments with

Option 11).

Step 3

Record the Frequency Counter reading on
the test record (Table 5-2A or Table 5-2B).

NOTE

The Frequency Counter reading is
typically within

±1 Hz. Differences

of a few Hertz can be caused by
noise or counter limitations. Differ-
ences of

³±100 Hz (³±10 Hz for in-

struments with Option 11) indicate
a frequency synthesis problem.

Step 4

Set F1 to the next test frequency on the
test record and record the Frequency
Counter reading.

Step 5

Repeat step 4 until all frequencies listed
on the test record have been recorded.
