14. On the 1 dB step attenuator and the 10 dB step attenuator, set the value 0 dB.
15. On the R3132 series, press PK SRCH to capture the signal peak.
16. On the signal generator, adjust the output level so that the marker reading is
0.0 dBm ± 0.1 dB.
17. On the R3132 series, press SINGLE for single sweep.
18. On the R3132 series, press as follows to set fixed marker mode to on.
MKR, 1/2_more, Fixed MKR ON/OFF(ON)
19. On the 10 dB step attenuator, increase attenuation to 10 dB.
20. On the R3132 series, press SINGLE for single sweep.
21. Record the level of fixed marker level in the Measured Data column in the per-
formance verification record sheet. Calculate the incremental error by following
formula and record the result in the Incremental Error in the column in the per-
formance verification record sheet.
Incremental Error (dB) = (current delta marker level) - (previous delta marker
level) + 10 dB
22. Repeat steps 19 through 21 for each value of the 10 dB step external step attenu-
ator is listed in the Table 5-15.
