7. Compare the amplitude of the harmonics to the specications listed in the test record. If
any harmonic is within 5 dB of sp ecication, make a more accurate measurement using
the \Harmonic/Subharmonic Verication Pro cedure

8.For the 83620B, 83622B, and 83630B/L: On the test record, record the value of the worst
case harmonic for RF output frequencies of 0.01 to 2.0 GHz.
