+10 dB Range Flatness Verification
This procedure checks the high frequency ac amplitude flatness above 
100 kHz on the +10dB attenuator range. (Flatness is relative to 1 kHz.)
1 Connect the power meter to measure the output amplitude of the 
instrument as shown on page 65.
2 Set up the function generator as follows:
• Output impedance: 50 Ω (press  and select Output Setup).
•Waveform: Sine
• Frequency: 100 kHz
• Amplitude: 13.00 dBm
Make sure the output is enabled.
3 On the power meter, use the Relative Power function to set the current 
reading as the reference value. This will allow you to compare future 
measurement results in dB.
4 Set the power meter offset to equal the 100kHz_10dB_offset value 
previously calculated. This sets the power meter to directly read the 
flatness error specification relative to 1 kHz. 100kHz_10dB_offset is 
calculated on the Amplitude and Flatness Verification Worksheet.
