6-120. Edge Frequency Verification
This procedure uses the following equipment:
• PM 6680 Frequency Counter with an ovenized timebase (Option PM 9690 or PM
9691)
• BNC cable supplied with the SC300
Refer to Figure 6-21 for proper setup connections. Set the Calibrator Mainframe to
SCOPE mode, with the Edge menu on the display. Press O on the Calibrator
Mainframe to activate the output. Then follow these steps to verify Edge frequency:
1. Set the PM 6680’s FUNCTION to measure frequency on channel A with auto
trigger, measurement time set to 1 second or longer, 50 Ω impedance, and filter off.
2. Using the BNC cable, connect the SCOPE connector on the Calibrator Mainframe to
PM 6680 channel A.
3. Program the Calibrator Mainframe to output 2.5 V at each frequency listed in Table
6-49.
4. Allow the PM 6680 reading to stabilize, then record the PM 6680 reading for each
frequency listed in Table 6-49. Compare to the tolerance column of Table 6-49.
