Ref In input of the Counter via a 50
Ω
feedthrough) to output a
1 MHz, 200 mV rms sine wave signal.
4 Set Synthesizer #2 (i.e., the HP 3325B connected to Channel 1) to
output a 2 MHz, 100 mV rms square wave signal.
Verify the Counter displays a reading of approximately 2 MHz and the
ExtRef annunciator is lit.
