Description
The SDH Transmitter Offset Clock is checked for range and accuracy using a
Frequency Counter to measure the STM-1 Data rate. This gives an indirect measure
of the transmitter clock frequency as the data is clocked by the internal 10MHz
clock oscillator. A measurement with no offset is performed to establish a reference
Clock frequency. The frequency accuracy is then measured over the specified offset
range. The STM-1 Framing is disabled during this test using the
function of the HP 37717C.
Equipment Required
Procedure
1. Recall the HP 37717C DEFAULT SETTINGS as shown on 3-2.
2. Connect the STM-1 OUT port to the Frequency Counter terminated in 75Ω (use
the T connector).
