Calibrating the internal oscillator The importance of calibration This unit has an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that provides 0.01ppm high-precision frequency output. However, every clock generator, including this one, can normally be expected to change over time. In order to enable continued use with high-performance, this unit has a function for calibrating the internal oscillator. If you connect and input a 10MHz signal generated from a GPS signal or a PPS signal, for example, to the dedicated CALIBRATION INPUT connector, the unit will recognize it automatically and calibrate the internal clock. Checking the unit firmware version Follow these procedures to check this unit's firmware version. Do this before updating the firmware, for example. 1. Press the MENU button repeatedly to open the UTILITY 2 menu page, and turn the MULTI JOG dial to select the VERSION item. 2. Press the MULTI JOG dial to open the VERSION screen. The VERSION screen shows information about the firmware version and build number. 3. Press the EXIT/CANCEL button to return to the menu screen.
