This procedure can be performed with one of three types of measurement
device; a broadband ACrms voltmeter, a power meter, or a thermal
voltage converter. The procedure differs slightly depending upon the type
of measurement device used. These adjustments us a 50
W output termination.
1 Use a DMM to measure the ACrms output voltage of the function generator
and enter the measurement value for the setup in the table below.

2a. If you are using a broadband ACrms voltmeter, proceed to step 3.
b. If you are using a power meter capable of measurements at 1 kHz,
use the power meter to measure the function generator output and enter
the value for the setup in the table below. (If your power meter does not
measure to 1 kHz, see the transfer measurement procedure below.)

83 1 kHz 3.0 V rms V rms, dBm
Transfer Measurement Procedure
If you are using a power meter not capable of measurement to 1 kHz,
you can perform the transfer measurement at a different frequency.
For example, the Agilent E4418A Power Meter with the Agilent 8482A
probe and 20 dB attenuator are specified to a low frequency of 100 kHz.
To use this measurement device, perform step 1, then use setup 65 to
obtain a 100 kHz output. Measure the output with the power meter and
record the measured value. Perform setup 83 and enter the recorded
value (not a new measurement). Then, perform step 3 (you will use setup
65 twice). This procedure assumes the output of the function generator is
flat from 1 kHz to 100 kHz.
c. If you are using a Thermal Voltage Converter (TVC), use the TVC to
measure the function generator output and enter the measurement for
the setup in the table below (TVC values entered are in mVdc).
