Press Mech Atten and enter 6 dB. The 50 MHz calibrator signal measured on
the functioning Spectrum Analyzer should measure 6 dB lower than the
previous step (~−31 dBm) as shown in Figure 4-16.

Press Mech Atten and enter 10 dB. The 50 MHz calibrator signal measured on
the functioning Spectrum Analyzer should measure 10 dB lower than the first
step (~−35 dBm). Continue testing all the attenuation settings as described in
Table 4-11.
