2 Set up the power meter.
3 Set up the oscilloscope.
4 Set the signal generator for 1 MHz and six divisions of amplitude.
5 Set up the Amplitude measurement
6 Note the oscilloscope AC RMS - FS(1) reading at the bottom of the screen.
7 Note the oscilloscope Std Dev(1) reading at the bottom of the screen. (This will

Set the power meter to display measurements in units of watts.
a Press the [Defaul t Setup] key.
b Set channel 1 Coupling to DC.
c With 2000 X-Series oscilloscopes, connect a 50 ohm feedthrough
termination.
With 3000 X-Series oscilloscopes, set channel 1 Imped to 50 Ohm.
d Set the time base to 500 ns/div.
e Set the Volts/Div for channel 1 to 200 mV/div.
f Press the [Acquire] key, then press the Averaging softkey.
g Turn the Entry knob to set # Avgs to 8 averages.
The signal on the oscilloscope screen should be about five cycles at six
divisions amplitude.
a Press the [Meas] key.
b Press the Clear Meas softkey and then the Clear All softkey.
