4. Verify the remaining CW frequencies, comparing the counter reading with the value in
Table 7-2:
• Press .
• Press .
5. Press to count the frequency of the 2nd LO signal.
6. Press . Verify that the counter reading matches the
corresponding 2nd LO value for the CW frequency. (Refer to Table 7-2.)
7. Verify the remaining CW frequencies, comparing the counter reading with the value in
Table 7-2:
• Press .
• Press .
8. Press to count the frequency of the PLREF signal.
9. Press . Verify that the counter reading matches the
corresponding PLREF value for the CW frequency. (Refer to Table 7-2.)
10.Verify the remaining CW frequencies, comparing the counter reading with the value in
Table 7-2:
• Press .
• Press .
11.Check the results.
• If all the counter readings match the frequencies listed in Table 7-2, skip ahead to
“A13/A14 Fractional-N Check” on page 7-20.
• If the counter readings are incorrect at the 500 kHz and 2 MHz settings only, go to
“FN LO at A12 Check” on page 7-16.
• If all the counter readings are incorrect at all three CW frequencies, the counter may
be faulty. Perform the “Oscilloscope Method” check of the signals described next. (If
the signals are good, either the A10 or A14 assemblies could be faulty.)
