increase the RF attenuation to 10 dB.

The marker amplitude readout comes from two
sources:
• Increased input attenuation causes poorer
signal- to- noise ratio. This causes the marker
delta value to be positive.
• Reduced contribution of the analyzer circuits
to the harmonic measurement causes the
marker delta value to be negative.
A large marker delta value readout indicates
significant measurement errors. Set the input
attenuator at a level to minimize the absolute value
of marker delta.
