Performance Tests
CAUTION Make sure the 8349A Amplifier, used in the signal generator system for
11970A, Q and U tests, is set for external leveling before you turn it on.
Failure to set this amplifier for external leveling may allow the amplifier
output to rise about 20 dBm, which is high enough to damage the frequency
tripler.
6. Disconnect the power sensor and connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3-1.
7. On the 8566A/B Spectrum Analyzer, set the controls as follows:

For 11970Q: 4, 1, GHz
For 11970U: 5, 0,GHz
For 11970V: 6, 2,[.] 5, GHz
For 11970W: 9, 2,[.] 5,GHz
8. Press SHIFT and SWEEP, CONT, KSt.
9. Press
