current measurement.
For example, the display shows:
50MHz
(10,C)
This is equivalent to reference number 4 in Table 1-1 and when
looked up in Table 1-2 shows that:
• the sensor type is 8480 series
• a sensor calibration table is selected (10)
• a frequency dependent offset table is selected(C).

Where “y” is the frequency multiplier (M or G), “nn” is the
sensor calibration table number and “a” is the frequency
dependent offset table letter.
