12. With all steps in the table populated, evaluate each step for compliance to limits. If Guardbanding is
to be applied, create a table from the example in this manual, where the acceptance limits are
properly modified by your Guardbanding method.
Phase Calibration (5560A and 5550A)
Table 26 lists the required equipment.
The phase function is calibrated for dual output voltage as well as when voltage/current are sourced
out of the Product.
Dual voltage output is straightforward - the Product OUTPUT VZ is connected to the phase meter
REFERENCE INPUT and the product AUX Output is connected to the phase meter SIGNAL INPUT.
