9. Adjust the output power of the signal generator for a reading of approximately -10 dBm
on the power meter for the 11970K, V or W and for approximately -3 dBm for the
11970A, Q or U. (Make sure that the unleveled light is not on for the 11970V and
11970W. Vary the power by adjusting the rotary vane attenuator.)
