Jeff,

My 5370A manual calls for 9x9 & the rest XXX in the test you describe. My
unit reads 10x9 for the same test. You might be in need of  a full
calibration, but beware of the peculiarities of the test equipment required
& the need to verify all of it is in cal.
It would be interesting to see what a few other folks read for the same
test.

Didier, thanks a lot for the manuals.

I just tried some of the performance tests on my 5370A and I'm not getting
what the manual says. Starting with the initial tests in Table 4-1, I'm good
until Step 13. Instead of 100nS, I read 10nS all the way through Step 17.
Pressing COMPLMNT shows -90nS. Steps 18 and 19 are ok. Step 20 shows 10nS
again. I haven't done Steps 21-23 yet.

I also performed the Accuracy test shown in the errata. I'm within .002Hz,
so that is in spec.

Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

Thanks.
