2 Set up the oscilloscope.
a Press the [Default Setup] key.
b Press the [Mode/Coupling] key; then, press the Mode softkey to select Normal.
3 Change the signal generator output frequency to 100 MHz or 200 MHz.
4 Set the power meter Cal Factor % to the appropriate value (100 MHz or
200 MHz) on the calibration chart on the power sensor. If necessary, do a linear
interpolation if a 100 MHz or 200 MHz factor is not included in the power
meter’s calibration chart.
5 Adjust the signal generator output for reading on the power meter of:
6 Press the [Trigger] key, then press the Source softkey to set the trigger source to
External.
7 Check for stable triggering and adjust the trigger level if necessary. Triggering
is indicated by the Trig’d indicator at the top of the display. When Trig’d? is
displayed, the oscilloscope is not triggered. When Trig’d is displayed (no
question mark), the oscilloscope is triggered.
8 Record the results as Pass or Fail in the Performance Test Record (see
page 52).
If the test fails, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Then return here.
