Figure 4-1.  Gain Measurement 
 
2. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 4-1, then proceed as follows: 
 

a) 

Set  the  oscilloscope  to  DC,  Time/cm  to  Ext.  X,  and  gain  to 
l0mv/cm. 

b) 

Set  the  sweep  generator  to  the  video  sweep  mode  with  the  start 
frequency at 300 kHz and the sweep width to 35 MHz. 

c) 

Disconnect  the  A1000  from  the  set-up  and  connect  the 
sweep/generator RF output directly to the 60 dB attenuator.
