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 oscilloscope.
3. Record the reference level:
HDisconnect the sine wave generator from the oscilloscope.
HConnect the sine wave generator to the power sensor.
HNote the level meter reading.
4. Set the generator to the new frequency and reference level:
HChange the sine wave generator to the desired new frequency.
HInput the correction factor and/or the new frequency into the level meter.
HAdjust the sine wave generator amplitude until the level meter again
reads the value noted in step 3. The signal amplitude is now correctly set
for the new frequency.
HDisconnect the sine wave generator from the power sensor.
HConnect the sine wave generator to the oscilloscope.
