TB 9-6625-2328-35
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin
provides instructions for the
calibration of Digital Electronic Counter AN/USM-459B. TM 9-6625-907-12 and TM 9-
6625-907-40 were used as the prime data sources in compiling these instructions. The
equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout
this bulletin.
a. Model Variations . None.
b. Time and Technique . The time
required for this
calibration is
approximately 2
hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms,
Records, and
Reports
a.
Forms, records, and
reports required for
calibration personnel at all
levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Software corrections will be reported by parameter; i.e. time interval, sensitivity,
timebase. Report only those software corrections made.
3. Calibration
Description. TI
parameters and
performance specifications which
