The Recorder output can be used to level an output from a source using
external leveling. The following procedure explains how to do this:
1. Select the Recorder Output by pressing , ,
.
2. The highest power you are going to measure is used to determine
the value which you should set for the Recorder Output maximum
setting. For example, if you are measuring a power less than 1 mW
and greater than 100 µW, then set the recorder maximum value to
1mW.
To set the maximum value press and enter the
appropriate value.
3. Press and enter 0 W.
4. Press to “On”.
