38 Press the Marker ON key in the Display Control area of the control panel.
39 Record the Marker Level reading as result B ________________________.
40 Calculate the Power Calibration Delta value. The delta value is the power meter measurement minus
the Advantest measurement.
Delta = A - B
Example: Delta = -0.70 dBm - (-1.25 dBm) = 0.55 dBm
Example: Delta = 0.26 dBm - 0.55 dBm = -0.29 dBm
These examples are included to show the mathematics and do not represent actual readings.
NOTE
Add this delta value to the TX Cable Loss value during In-Service Calibration.
