The softkey menu structured to this hardkey affects the channel setup.
Press this hardkey to access the “Zero/Cal” menu which allows you to zero
and calibrate the power meter. Refer to “Calibrating the Power Meter”, on
page 2-8 for further information.
•
Press this softkey to adjust channel A for a zero power reading
with no power applied to the power sensor. Refer to “Zeroing and
Calibrating the Power Meter”, on page 2-7 for further information.
•
Press this softkey to calibrate channel A with the connected power
sensor. The POWER REF output is used as the signal source for
calibration and is automatically switched on during this
procedure.
•
Press this softkey to enter a reference calibration factor for
channel A. A value in the range of 1% to 150% can be entered. The
default value is obtained from the sensor calibration table if one is
selected, otherwise it is 100%. Use the , , and
hardkeys to change the value. To confirm your choice press .
This softkey cannot be selected when you are using an
Agilent E-series power sensor.
•
Press this softkey to switch the POWER REF output on or off. This
output is used as the signal source for calibration. The default is
“Off”.
Note During calibration the power meter automatically switches the
power reference oscillator on (if it is not already on), then after
calibration it switches it to the state it was in prior to the
calibration.
•
Press this softkey to switch the Zero/Cal Lockout facility On or
Off. When Zero/Cal Lockout is On, the power meter is prevented
from making a measurement until the sensor connected has been
zeroed and calibrated. This softkey is coupled to the equivalent
softkey in the System Inputs menu.
