Repetitive Test
Connect the equipment
a With the N cable, connect the signal generator to the power splitter input. Connect
the power sensor to one output of the power splitter.
b With an N-to-BNC adapter, connect the other splitter output to the channel 1 input.
Press Recall ,thenpress clr tosetthe oscilloscope to default conditions.
Set the following parameters.

Entry Fine (on)
Set the signal generator for 1 MHz at +5.0 dBm. The signal on the screen should be
about two cycles at six divisions amplitude.
Note: Do not exceed 6 divisions when making the bandwidth check.
Initiate a V amptd measurement. ,
Press (blue) , V amptd ,and 1 (channel number, entry menu).
After the measurement settles (averaging complete, about 10 seconds) note the
Vamp (1) reading (bottom of screen): Vimuz = mv.
Set the power meter Cal Factor % to 1 MHz value from the cal chart on the probe.
Then press dB[REF] to set a 0 dB reference.
