3. Open the "GPRF Meas Power" application, e.g. from the task bar (press "TASKS" to
open the task bar).
If the application is not present in the task bar, enable it in the "Measurement Con-
troller" dialog (press "MEASURE" to open the dialog).
As a result the "General Purpose RF - Power" dialog is opened.
4. Press ON / OFF (or RESTART / STOP) to start the measurement.
5. Press "RF Settings > RF Routing..." and ensure that RF 2 COM is selected as an
input connector.
6. In the "Settings" panel of the measurement dialog, adjust the "Frequency", the
"Expected Nominal Power", and the filter "Bandwidth" to the properties of your input
signal.
7. Observe the measurement result on the screen.
In the present example, the upper tone (at 1200.001 MHz) of the generated dual-tone
signal is observed in a 1 kHz bandwidth. Due to the cable loss, the measured power is
smaller than the –36.19 dBm shown in figure 2-2.
