2.11.8 Calibration (CALIB)
For servicing, the following menus offer access to calibrating routines and correction values:
UTILITIES - CALIB - VCO SUM
LEV PRESET
PULSE GEN
REF OSC (cf. service manual)
QPSK
LEVEL (cf. service manual)
Internal calibration routines LEV PRESET, VCO SUM, QPSK and PULSE GEN are protected by a
password. They can only be executed if the lock-out in the UTILITIES - PROTECT menu has been
unlocked. The password is PASSWORD LEVEL 1 = "123456".
Caution: Execute calibration routines only when the instrument has warmed up
Calibration routines LEVEL and REF OSC are described in the service manual (stock no.
1039.1856.24).
Calibration VCO SUM
To synchronize the summing loop, the frequency the oscillator generates must be so close to the rated
frequency that the phase control can lock in. This is effected by means of presetting values. The
presetting values are stored in a table and can be renewed using internal calibration routine VCO SUM.
The calibration routine needs only be executed after a data loss in the RAM or after an exchange of
modules.
Function: In a 10-MHz division scale, the VCOs are synchronized with the rated frequency and the
presetting voltage readjusted until the difference to the tuning voltage becomes minimal.
The value hence achieved is entered into the table. The routine takes approx. 10 seconds.
