NOTE: Amplitude default of −10 dBm is typically sufficient for performing
measurements on passive cavities, however higher levels may be needed to
measure the cavity notch depth. The level can be c hanged to s uit measur ement
needs (e.g. increase measurement range, minimize incident input from other
sources, etc.). If Amplitude is changed, Ref Level will also have to be
changed.
