Color TV Chroma Bandpass Alignment

That is the quandary. The simplest method to me would have been for the manufacturer to create separate RF, IF and Chroma bandpass alignment procedures with response curves published for each separately. Although to me, best overall engineering practise would be to evaluate the complete start to end response. It is more complicated and requires proper or alignment of RF and IF stages before checking the chroma response.
I did do this with the equipment I have and it worked out well.
