... SECTION 3.0 Using the SCMF Test Board. 3.1 Introduction The SCMF Test Board is designed to measure and reconfigure the Multiple Frequency Output and Single Frequency Output family of oscillators from Cardinal Components. The SCMF Test Board consists of the following basic components. The 6 test SMA connectors, which can be used for frequency measurement ...

... Lets start by setting up the SCMF Test Board for frequency measurement only. When using the SCMF Test Board as a stand-alone unit, 5 Volts DC must be applied to the board. Attach a cable from the SCMF Test Board 5 Volt input Volt DC source. Make sure that JP3 is correct. See Figure 1 for details. ...
