External Modulation Path Gain
The Audio Frequency Generator Gain program should be performed
before running the External Modulation Path Gain program.
The “path” in this program runs from the external MODULATION IN
connector through the Modulation Distribution assembly, through the
Monitor Select Switch, and then through Audio Analyzer 1 to the Test
Set’s internal DVM. The dc source is Audio Frequency Generator 1
through the AUDIO IN connector and an external cable.
The goal of this procedure is to set the External Level Amplifier gain
DAC (on the Modulation Distribution assembly) to produce a gain of
exactly 4 between the MODULATION IN connector and output of the
Monitor Select Switch. This requires measuring the input and output
levels, calculating the gain, changing the DAC setting, and then
repeating the process until the calculated gain equals 4.
Audio Analyzer 1 Offset
Two DC offsets are measured and downloaded as calibration factors to
the Audio Analyzer 1 assembly. These measurements are determined
under the following conditions:
• Input-select switch grounded
• AUDIO INPUT selected with return conductor grounded
Variable Frequency Notch Filter
The calibration factors for tuning the variable-frequency notch filter are
determined as follows:
The input to the filter is set to 10 evenly-spaced frequencies between
300 and 10,000 Hz. The DAC that tunes the notch filter is adjusted for
best null of the tune error voltage. From this data, three coefficients of a
parabola which best fit the tuning data are calculated using a
least-squares curve fit. The coefficients are then automatically
downloaded into the Test Set’s non-volatile memory.
