4.2.2.3 Set the signal generator to 1 MHz, 10 mV. Increase the signal generator output level
until the counter gives a stable reading. Note the signal generator output level.
4.2.2.4 Enable the counters input A attenuator (Command code AAE) and verify that the
2251A no longer counts. Increase the signal generator until the counter gives a stable
