If calibration fails:

q

Verify the GPIB cable is connected to the

Dedicated GPIB

(bot-

tom) connector on the 373XXA rear panel.

q

Verify that the frequency counter is functioning correctly, the ca-
ble is in good condition, and all connections are secure.

q

RF POWER/ALC
CALIBRATION

This procedure uses the 373XXA internal diagnostics and calibration
menus, in conjunction with a suitable power meter, to adjust the out-
put power level of the signal source throughout the range of the
373XXA model being calibrated. Perform this calibration procedure if:

q

The Source Power/ALC test in Chapter 3, Operating Test, fails.

q

Other testing or troubleshooting reveals a possible problem with
RF Power accuracy or the ALC loop.

q
