Use the terminal and serial port to send one of the following SCPI
commands to incrementally adjust the EFC control signal to bring the
oscillator frequency closer to 10 MHz:
DIAG:CAL:ROSC:EFC:ABS UP (or)
DIAG:CAL:ROSC:EFC:ABS DOWN
Where UP increases frequency and DOWN decreases frequency.
3
As you approach the proper frequency, change the step size to smaller
values by sending the following SCPI command:
DIAG:CAL:ROSC:EFC:ABS:STEP
The default step size is 10,000. A recommended first reduction in size
should be to 1,000.
4
Continue to adjust UP or DOWN with finer increments until the
frequency output is 10 MHz

Record the date, EFC value, and frequency value on the Calibration
recorded, located on page 2-20.

Return the EFC step size to its original value by sending the following
SCPI command:
DIAG:CAL:ROSC:EFC:ABS:STEP 10000
This completes the 58502A calibration.
