Testing Option 1DS (Preamp)
Instruments containing Option 1DS must have the preamp function turned on and tested.
In order to enable this function, press

Procedure
1. Connect the 20 dB pad between the input of the spectrum analyzer and the power
splitter, as shown in
2. Set the synthesized sweeper amplitude to the value listed in the Nominal Source
Amplitude column in
3. Assure the spectrum analyzer input attenuation is set to 10 dB.
4. Set the Res BW and Span as listed in
.
5. Record the source amplitude, as measured by the power meter, in the Power Meter
.
6. On the spectrum analyzer, press
Restart

7. Wait for the analyzer to finish averaging.
8. Record the signal amplitude as measured by the analyzer in the measured amplitude
column of
