Connect the RF output of the HP8648B generator through a 50 Ohm
coaxial cable into Channel 1.
Set the generator frequency to 10.0 MHz.
Adjust the generator output amplitude to get 6 divisions peak to peak.
Read of the frequency parameter (to 2 decimal places) and record the value in
Table 14.
Verify that the error is less than 100 Hz.
