2. Connect an external source or function generator output to the M9300A “Ref In” connector. 3. Set the source/function generator to the first frequency and power level listed in the following table. - Page 31 2. On the SFP, under 100 MHz Reference, enable (check) Out 1 through 5 Enabled. 3. On the SFP, under External Reference, uncheck Use External Reference. 4. Connect the RF INPUTon the signal analyzer to the 100 MHz Out 1 connector on the M9300A.. 5. The output level should be ≥ +10 dBm.
- Page 32 8. Connect the spectrum analyzer to the 100 MHz BP Out connector and verify that the power is ≥ +10 dBm. 9. If the power level is low, the module is defective and needs to be repaired.See " Return a Module for Service" on page Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference Startup Guide...
