1. Install the test hookupand preset the instrument controls:
a. Initialize the oscilloscope:Press the DEFAULT SETUP button.
b. Modify the initialized front-panelcontrol settings:

HClick Average,and set the number of averages to 16.
c. Hook up the test-signal source:
HConnect one end of a precision 50 coaxialcable to the signal
output of the generator. Connect the other en d of the coaxial cable to
CH1through a 50 termination. See Figure 2--20.
