c. Hook up the test-signal source:Connect the sine wave output of a
leveled sine wavegenerator to CH 1. Set the output of the generator to a
referencefrequency of 10 MHz or less. See Figure 2--10.
For the optional setup using a leveled sine wave generatorwith a
leveling head, seeFigure 2--11 and, if using this optionalsetup with the
example TektronixSG504, set the generator output to 6 MHz.

2. Confirm the input channels arewithin limits for analog bandwidth: Do the
following substeps test CH 1 first, skippingsubsteps aand bsince CH 1
is alreadyset up for testing from step 1.
a. Select an unchecked channel:
