OPERATION VERIFICATION
4-14. Operation Verification is a subset of the
performance tests, providing reasonable
assurance that the
8350A Sweep Oscillator and
RF
plug-in are operating properly. Paragraph 4-
5 in the 8350A Operating and Service Manual
specifies these tests and includes an HP-IB
Operation Verification program for use with a
9825A/B Desktop Computer.

INTERNAL CRYSTAL MARKERS
SPECIFICATION:
Conditions:
RF
power level
=
i-3 to i-13 dBm;
510
markerslsweep. Harmonic markers of 10
and 50 MHz are available up to 2.4
GHz;
1
MHz harmonic markers are available below 1
GHz. Markers are available as intensity spots or as amplitude dips on the RF output.
DESCRIPTION:
The RF output is detected and displayed on a CRT. Sweep widths are selected to
accomodate 10 harmonic markers generated by the internal 50 MHz crystal. Both amplitude
and intensity markers are verified. The procedure is repeated for 1 and 10 MHz harmonic
markers.
EQUIPMENT:
Sweep Oscillator.
