8 Perform the following sub-procedure for the reference Power Meter,
81634B:
a
Press [Menu], move to <Range mode>, move to <Manual>, and
press Enter.
b
Move to <Range>, press Enter, move to <-50 dBm>, press Enter,
and press [Close].
9 Perform the following sub-procedure for the DUT, 8162xB:
a
Press [Menu], move to <Range mode>, move to <Manual>, and
press Enter.
b
Move to <Range>, press Enter, move to <10 dBm>(40 dBm for
81628B), and press Enter.
c
Zero both Power Meters. Move to <Zero all> and press Enter.
10 Enable both attenuators.
11 Adjust the attenuation of Atty2 in order to achieve -47.2 dBm on the
reference Power Meter.

For 81628B:
Before starting the measurement move to the DUT channel and enter a
calibration factor of 31 dB. This simulates the disconnected
integrating sphere. If the power at the DUT overflows when switching
to the lower range decrease the calibration factor (e.g. to 30 dB) and
start the linearity test again.
+10 dBm Range (equivalent to +40 dBm range for
81628B)
12 Applies to the 81622B and 81626B only:
Switch to the 20 dBm range and note both power readings as n=0 in
the test record, which is given at the end of the test descriptions
(#0, that is n=0). Switch back to the 10 dBm range.
13 Note both power readings as the first value (n=1) in the test record,
which is given at the end of the test descriptions (#1).
14 Increase the attenuation of Atty1 until the power reading of the
DUT shows about +2.8 dBm.
15 Note the InRange-values in the test record (#2)
16 At the DUT, 8162xB, move to
dBm> (30 dBm for 81628B), and press Enter.
17 Adjust the attenuation of Atty2 in order to be on the upper limit of
the -50 dBm range at the reference power meter (i.e. -47.2 dBm).
