External Modulator Gain Calibration
NOTE If other combinations of hardware are being used in the external
leveling loop configuration that do not have an operational range equal
to the external detector being used, their operational range must be
used instead.
For complete specifications, refer to “Specifications and
Characteristics” on page 6-1.

Step Frequency for External Modulator Gain
Calibration
Step Frequency, available from the External Modulator Gain
Calibration Dialog Box, specifies the calibration step size for the
modulator gain calibration in the external leveling loop configuration.
Its value is used in conjunction with the start and stop frequency values
that are also specified.
The calibration step size is used to determine the actual points used in
the External Modulator Gain Calibration. The smaller the step size, the
more accurate the calibration is for all frequencies, but this enhanced
accuracy is at the cost of increased time for the calibration process. A
calibration step size value of 100 MHz is recommended.
The number of calibration steps is defined by the following equation
and can not exceed 201:
Number of Steps Stop Frequency Start Frequency–()Step Frequency⁄=
