Prerequisites
●
The instrument is set up, connected to the mains system, and started up as
described in Chapter 3, "Preparing for Use", on page 10.
For these first measurements, you use the internal calibration signal, so you do
not need any additional signal source or instruments. Try out the following:

5.1 Measuring a Basic Signal
We will start out by measuring a simple sinus wave, using the internal calibration
signal as the input.
To display the internal 50 MHz calibration signal
1. Press the PRESET key to start out in a defined instrument configuration.
2. Press the SETUP key.
3. Tap the "Service + Support" softkey.
4. Tap the "Calibration Signal" tab.
5. Tap the "Calibration Frequency RF" option. Leave the frequency at the default
50 MHz.
