Setup
Tracking Generator Frequency Accuracy Verification
1. Connect the external 10 MHz Reference to the frequency counter. Do not connect the external 10 MHz
signal to the MS2720T.
2. Connect the frequency counter to the Generator RF Output connector of the MS2720T.

9. Record the frequency of the tracking generator in the “Table A-64, “Tracking Generator Frequency
Accuracy” on page A-34
10. Verify that the frequency is within specification.
11. Repeat Steps 4 through 10 for the next frequency in Table A-64.
