10.7 MHz).
6. Reduce the span of the other spectrum analyzer to check that the cal
oscillator is actually sweeping. If the oscillator is not sweeping,
perform the following steps:
a. The output of the sweep generator circuit (A4U804 pin 8 of
function block Z) should be a series of negative-going parabolas
(frequency and amplitude vary depending on the sweep width
chosen). Table 8-3 on page 414 lists the RANGE, MA0, and MA1
values for the sweep widths. If a failure is indicated in the
IF/LOG CHECK, press
More Info to provide more detailed
information about the detected failure. If an HP-IB printer is
available, connect it to the spectrum analyzer HP-IB connector,
then press
