Typical Equipment Setup for External Detector Linearization

Power Meter Reading Dialog Box

A Power Meter Reading Dialog Box is displayed after selecting Start,

from the External Detector Linearization Dialog Box. This allows the

user to enter power meter measurements and is repeated a number of

times. Each time a configuration is made, the power meter reading

must be entered into the displayed 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 external detector linearization

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.
