4 - 26. DISPLAY FIDELITY
SPECIFICATION:
Log Incremental Accuracy:
f 0.1 dB per dB from Reference Level
Log Maximum Cumulative Error:
< +_ 1.5 dB over entire 70 - dB range
Linear Accuracy;
t- 3% of Reference Level
DESCRIPTION:
The amplitude of the log display amplifier is tested by connecting a DVM to the display (AUX A) VERTICAL
OUTPUT connector. A wide resolution bandwidth setting is selected so the signal appears as a straight horizon
-
tal line on the CRT The DVM is used to provide good resolution when checking for + 1 dB per 10 dB step (0.1
dB/dB).
