Start an External Detector Linearization

Start, available from the External Detector Linearization Dialog Box,

starts an external detector linearization calibration that is used to

adjust or compensate the output power for an external leveling loop

configuration.

The system is configured for a calibration point and a dialog box is

displayed allowing the user to enter power meter measurement. This is

repeated a number of times. Each time a configuration is made, the

power meter reading must be entered into the displayed Power Meter

Reading Dialog Box. Once the power meter reading for the last point in

the loop is entered, the routine completes the calibration and stores the

calibrated values within the synthesizer's FLASH memory, thus

completing the calibration process.

NOTE If a different external detector or other combination of hardware being

used in the external leveling loop configuration is replaced, the external

detector linearization calibration should be repeated using the new

hardware configuration.

If a calibration is cancelled prior to completion, using the Cancel

button, none of the new calibration values are retained and the values

from the last calibration are restored.

Once the external detector linearization calibration is performed, the

user must perform the external modulator gain calibration to complete

the external detector calibration.
