Input Attenuator B Control Logic Verification (N8976B)
Press MODE/MEAS, Spectrum Analyzer, OK, AMPTD, Attenuation, Mech 
Atten, 10 dB on the analyzer and verify that the 10 dB Step LED DS18 is 
illuminated.
If the LEDs illuminate correctly, the switch control logic for the input 
attenuators from the A15 Front End Control assembly is correct. If the LEDs are 
not illuminating as expected, the most probable cause is the A15 Front End 
Control Assembly.
Set the input attenuator back to 10 dB by pressing AMPTD, Attenuation, Mech 
Atten, 10 dB on the analyzer.
