3 Set the Agilent 8663A to output a 200 MHz, 100 mV sine wave signal to Channel
1.
4 On the Counter, Press Run key.
5 Send a single pulse by pressing the MAN key on the Agilent 8130A, and observe
that with each press the Gate annunciator flashes.
The Counter should display approximately 1000.
6 For Agilent 53131A/132A, mark Pass or Fail in the Agilent 53131A/132A
Performance Test Record on page 1-41, Test 7.
7 Disconnect the test setup.
External Timebase Tests
These tests verify the External Timebase 1, 5, 10 MHz specifications of the Agilent
53131A and Agilent 53181A Counters by checking that TIMEBASE AUTO allows
the Counter to be synchronized to the external reference.
Note that the Agilent 53132A only operates with the 10 MHz external timebase;
therefore, perform the procedure in the section titled “10 MHz External
Timebase Input for the Agilent 53132A” on page 1-15 to verify that TIMEBASE
AUTO allows the Counter to be synchronized to the external reference.
