Performance Verification
Alignment
You should alig
n the instrument before proceeding with the Warranted
Characteristics tests.
1. Select Alignm
ents in the Tools menu. The Alignments dialog box will open.
2. Select Align Now. The alignment process will take a few minutes.
3. Verify that no alignment failures are reported in the status bar.
Warranted C
haracteristics Tests
The following procedures verify the RSA5100B Series Signal Analyzer
performance is within the warranted specifications.
Frequency Accuracy
Check Reference Output
Frequen
cy Accuracy
1. Connect Ref Out on the RSA5100B rear-panel through a 50 Ω precision
coaxial
cable to the frequency counter input. See the following figure.
2. Connect a precision frequency reference to the frequency counter.

3. Set the Frequency counter:
Function Frequency
Gate time
2s
4. Check that the frequency counter reads 10 MHz ±4 Hz (Option PFR). Without
Option PFR, check that the frequency counter reads 10 MHz +/- 40 Hz. Enter
t
he frequency in the test record.
