g.
By alternately pressing and releasing DISPLAY -
CLEAR WRITE while adjusting MANUAL VERNIER,
center the display indication (a narrow spike).
h.
Adjust the rear panel TRACKING

control for a full scale 2 V display. Reposition the
following front panel control:
RESOLUTION BANDWIDTH
.........
3 Hz
i. The display indication should drop
no
lower than 1 V
(5
major divisions)
to
verify the frequency accuracy
of
the
tracking oscillator.
If
the tracking oscillator frequency
is
out
of
tolerance, remove the top cover and adjust A2C4 for
a peak display indication.
j.
Reposition
the
following front panel control:
FREQ. SPAN/DIV

0.1 KHz
k. Adjust MANUAL VERNIER for a 1 KHz display
indication (indication on far right display graticule).
Momentarily press the following front panel control:

to
the INPUT
of
the distortion analyzer. Adjust the TRACKING
OSC

CW.
m. Reference the TRACKING

to
0 dB
on
the
distortion analyzer.

distortion analyzer FUNCTION switch
to
DISTORTION.)
n. Measure the distortion in
dB
by nulling the distortion
analyzer.
o. Adjust the FREQUENCY and BALANCE controls
for a meter null. Use automatic nulling
if
available.
p. The total distortion indication should be at least
40
dB
below the reference level.
If
it
is
not,
perform the
Mixer Balance Adjustments (Paragraph 5-81). Disconnect
the distortion analyzer from the 3580A.
5-43. RECORDER
Output
Tests.
a. Connect the multimeter (DC mode, 100 volt range)
to
the rear panel X-AXIS RECORDER
output.
Adjust
MANUAL VERNIER fully
CCW.
b. The multimeter should read 0 V
de±
.15 V.
c. Adjust the MANUAL VERNIER fully
CW.
The
multimeter reading should be 5 V
de±
.15 V.
d. Reposition the following front panel control:

e. Reconnect the TRACKING
OSC
OUTPUT
to
the
INPUT terminals
of
the 3580A and readjust the rear panel
LEVEL control for a full scale display
(on
the far right
graticule). Use DISPLAY - CLEAR WRITE,
if
necessary, to
clear all unwanted data from the display.
f.
Connect the multimeter
(DC
mode, 100 volt range)
to the rear panel Y-AXIS RECORDER output. The
multimeter reading should be 5.00 V de ± .15 V. *
g.
Disconnect the TRACKING
OSC
OUT from the
INPUT terminals. The voltmeter should now read 0 volts
de
± .15
V.
Disconnect the multimeter from the 3580A. *
