1. Switch the instrument into the Spectrum Analyzer mode by pressing
Mode, Spectrum Analyzer.
2. Turn on the internal 4.8 GHz Calibrator signal by pressing Input / Output,
RF Calibrator, 4.8 GHz.
3. Tune the instrument to 4.8 GHz with a span of 100 MHz by pressing Span,
100 MHz, Freq, 4.8 GHz.
4. Place the marker on the peak of the calibrator signal by pressing Peak
Search.
5. Center the preselector filter by pressing Amptd, Presel Center.
