10.Press MARKER [PEAK SEARCH),11.Press (SHIFT),(m]I to permit extended reference level settings.

12.Set the analyzer (REFERENCE LEVEL],(VIDEO], and frequency synthesizer amplitude according to Table 2-12 settings. (Use the frequency synthesizer @J for 10 dB steps.) At each setting, note the MKR A amplitude displayed in the upper right corner of the analyzer display (deviation from the 0 dB reference setting) and record it in the table. See Figure 2-18.

Note After measurement at the (REFERENCE LEVEL) = -70 dBm setting, press [SHIFT),(ENTER dB/DIvP as indicated in ‘lhble 2-12.
