Operation Verification
Checking the Maximum Leveled Power
3. Ensure that the RF OUTPUT connector is connected to a 50Ω load.
4. Ensure that the power level entered corresponds to the value listed in Table 3-1.
5. Refer to Table 3-2 for the recommended equipment and measure the output power.
If the measured power level is more than the power level listed in Table 3-1, turn the front panel knob
counterclockwise until the measured power level equals the power level in Table 3-1.
6. Note the signal generator front-panel amplitude value and use it to repeat the maximum leveled power
check.
If all of the above steps are followed and the check continues to fail, contact the nearest Agilent
Technologies call center for assistance. Refer to “Contacting Agilent Sales and Service Offices” on
page 16 for contact information.
