Initially this test checks the 3 dB points of each Resolution Bandwidth; therefore,
ignore the values in parenthesis until instructed otherwise.
c. Allow one complete sweep to occur. Now put the marker on the most positive point of
the trace, using the marker amplitude reading as your guide.
d. Set the 3585A controls for:
