Frequency accuracy
1. With the power off, connect the frequency counter to the Model 6221
OUTPUT jack, as shown in Figure 16-5. Also connect the shorting connec-
tor to the INTERLOCK connector (see Section 2 for interlock connections).
2. Turn on the Model 6221 and test equipment, and allow them to warm up for
one hour before proceeding.
3. Select the sine wave function by pressing the WAVE key.
4. Set the Model 6221 amplitude (AMPL) to 20mA on the 20mA range, and
set the frequency (FREQ) to 1kHz. Turn on the output.
5. Verify that the counter frequency reading is between 0.9999kHz and
1.0001kHz.
6. After testing, first turn off the output, then disconnect the test equipment.
