2. Set the Generator:
HSet the sine wave generator to a reference frequency of 10 MHz.
HAdjust the sine wave generator amplitude to the required number of
divisions as measured by the digitizing oscilloscope.
3. Record the reference level:
HDisconnect the sine wave generator from the digitizing oscilloscope.
HConnect the sine wave generator to the power sensor.
HNote the level meter reading.
