Performance Veriﬁcation

Option 66 Zero-Span

Output (functionality

check only)

1. Connect the RF g

enerator output to the RSA5100B RF Input as shown.

Figure 17: Equipment connections for Zero-Span Output check

2. Connect a DMM to the output BNC connector on the back panel labeled

Zero Span Out.

3. Set the DMM to read DC volts.

4. Set the RSA5100B:
