11.Set spectrum analyzer SWEEP TIME/DIV to 20 msec. Adjust counter's SENSITIVITY controls for a time interval reading of 0.2000 +0.0200 sec. Record sweep time value in Table 4-15.

12.Verify remaining spectrum analyzer SWEEP TIME/DIV control settings of 50 msec through 10 sec, recording sweep time values in Table 4-15.
