c Slowly rotate the RPG knob while monitoring the digital
multimeter. The sine wave’s amplitude should vary as follows.
d If all the values are incorrect, go to Step 7.
e If only a few of the values are incorrect, the A35 Analog Source is
probably faulty.
f If all the values are correct, the analog source and calibrator are
operating correctly. For a single channel analyzer, go to
page 1-71, ‘’To troubleshoot input and ADC failures.’’ For a two
