q Service Log Check
q Self Test
q Basic Sweep Operation and Speed Test
q High Level Noise Test
q System Stability Test
q RF Power Generation and Control Test
q Step Attenuators Accuracy and Repeatability Test
q Video IF Bandwidth Filters Operation Test
q Sampler Efficiency and Stability Test
q LO1/LO2 Linearity Test
q Source FM/Lock Signal Linearity Test
Equipment required:
37XXX Test Software (ANRITSU PN: 2300-178)
External computer/controller; refer to Table 1-1 located on page 1-9.
GPIB cable (ANRITSU PN: 2100-2), or equivalent
Procedure:
Step 1. Refer
to file “Readme.txt” of the distribution disk for in-
formation regarding setup of the computer/controller.
Step 2. Using the GPIB cable, connect the external computer/con-
