6 Connect the Signal Generator, Timebase OUT port (rear panel), to the
counter Timebase IN port (rear panel).
7 Check the Counter EXT TIME BASE flag is illuminated on the front
panel.
8 Connect the HP 37718A/19A Multirate Analyzer module CLOCK
TRIGGER port to the Frequency Counter, set input termination to
50Ω.
9 Adjust the Frequency Counter Trigger Level to obtain a stable
reading.
10 The reading should be between 51.839999 - 51.840001MHz. If not
check setup and ensure the Counter is locked to the Signal Generator.
11 Set the HP 37718A/19A frequency offset to the settings given in Table
3-2 and verify the frequency at each step is within the Min/Max limits.
12 Disconnect all the test equipment.
