Equipment needed:
Volt meter
Adapters and cables to connect the volt meter to the Aux IF Out SMA

measure DC volts.
Verify that signal level appears on the analyzer screen positioned 1 division
below top graticule line.
Voltmeter should measure approximately 1.5 Vdc.
Reduce source output power to −20 dBm. Signal should now appear one
division lower, and voltmeter should measure approximately 1.3 VDC.
Reduce source output power to −30 dBm. Signal should now appear one
division lower, and voltmeter should measure approximately 1.0 VDC.
