4-88. Frequency Counter - Accuracy Test
4-89. Equipment Required. A Frequency Source capable of providing a 20 Hz (+ 01%) and a | MHz
(+ 003%) sine-wave signal is required for this procedure.
1, Set the HP 3457A to the Frequency Function (FREQ).
2. Set the Frequency Standard for a | volt, 20 Hz sine-wave output signal and connect it to the HI
and LO input terminals of the HP 3457A.
3. Use the Test Record to record the frequency readings at 20 Hz and | MHz.
4. If either of the readings are beyond the limits specified, the instrument should be calibrated.
Refer to Section V of this manual for calibration procedures.
