Aux out of the Sweeper tthe counter in rear.

In addition you need the generator RF out to apply to the circuit under test and a cable, typically scope probe to it's vertical input.

Have you verified that the HP8601a produces a CW output which frequency can be measured on the HP8600a?

Refer to the Operator check on pages 21 and 22 of the BAMA HP8601a manual pdf.
