The HP 8642's frequency is set to values where harmonic performance
problems are most likely to be observed. The measuring receiver is used to
measure the power level at the harmonic or sub-harmonic frequency. To do
this, the measuring receiver must have been calibrated over the full power
measurement range at that frequency.
Doing the Level Accuracy
Performance Test automatically does this.
For troubleshooting purposes or characterization of other RF frequencies, a
spectrum analyzer may be used.

Setup
Connect the instruments as shown in Figure 4- 2.
Preset the
instruments. Set the measuring receiver to tuned RF Level mode. If
the Level Accuracy Performance Test has just been done with the
same measuring receiver then continue with step 2.
If Level
Accuracy has not yet been done or you have changed measuring
receivers then calibration is required. In this case, complete step
