13.To check SIGNAL INPUT 1, use the type N male to BNC male adapter to connect the power splitter directly to SIGNAL INPUT 1.

Option 001: Use HP 11852A Minimum Loss Pad and adapters between splitter and spectrum analyzer input.

14.Press [INSTR PRESET) on spectrum analyzer, then activate SIGNAL INPUT 1 with the pushbutton.
