Record the frequency counter reading in Table 2-14 as Fl.
On the HP 8560A, press MAN TRK ADJ , (255), (Hz. Rotate the knob clockwise until the
FINE TRACK ADJ is set to 255.

Record the frequency counter reading in Table 2-14 as F2.
Calculate Fcenter
as shown below and record in Table 2-14.
F
center= (Fl + F2) / 2
Set COARSE TRACK ADJ to 25. This sets the tracking oscillator near the center of its
frequency range (the relationship between the COARSE TRACK ADJ dac number and
the output frequency is nonlinear). Adjust COARSE TRACK ADJ and FINE TRACK
ADJ until the frequency counter reads Fcenter flO0 Hz.
Record the values of COARSE TRACK ADJ and FINE TRACK ADJ in Table 2-14.
Adjust AlOC3 TRK OSC CTR until the frequency counter reads 300 MHz f500 Hz.
Repeat steps 7 through 14 at least once more until no further adjustment of AlOC3 TRK
OSC CTR is necessary.
Set the HP 8560A LINE switch off. Replace the dust cap screw on AlO. Disconnect all
cables from AlO.
