To verify the control logic, press Mode Preset on the analyzer. Press FREQ, 
5GHz, SPAN, 1MHz, AMPTD, More 1 of 2, uW Path Ctrl. Standard Path is 
selected by default. Carefully place the scope probe tip on the conductive 
portion where the green wire goes into the connector, see Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7  Connector Detail
The voltage should be ~21.5 VDC steady state at this point. When you switch 
from Standard Path to uW Preselector Bypass, you should see a negative going 
pulse to 0 VDC on the oscilloscope for ~15 mS before the voltage returns to 
~21.5 VDC steady state. The oscilloscope triggering may need to be adjusted 
to see the negative going pulse. This can be tested on both connectors that 
contain the green wire.
