The 
following 
procedure 
sets 
the output 
level
and checks 
the 
gain, 
frequency  response, 
and sensi-
tivity of the 
input 
amplifier.
a. 
Turn counter 
on and set 
L 
E V 
E 
L 
to 
PRESET.
b. 
With no input connected, 
measure the 
output 
dc
voltage 
at A19(6).
c. Adjust dc voltage with A19R20 to 
+6.3V 
+. 2V.
d. 
Connect 
outputof 
Test 
Oscillator 
to 
Counter 
DC
INPUT 
connector 
with 50-ohm 
termination 
at Counter.
e. 
Set Test Oscillator output to 50 
MHz 
at 
100 
mV
rms.
f.  Check output 
at A19(6)  with Oscilloscope; 
output
should 
be 1.5V 
p-p 
minimum.
g. 
Increase 
output 
of Test 
Oscillator 
to 
3V rms.
Theoutput 
at .4'19(6) is asymmetrically 
clipped 
wave-
form approximately 
2V 
p-p.
h. Set SENSITIVITY 
to 
.1V, 
TIME 
BASE to 
10 
ms,
and 
FIJNCTION to 
FREQUENCY.
i. 
Set Test 
Oscillator output 
to 
50 MHz 
at 100 
mV

troubleshooting 
procedure 
is 
provided 
on 
pages
6-10 through
