3. Select the analyzer as the system controller:
4. Set the power meter's address:
(where aa is the power meter GPIB address)
5. Select the appropriate power meter by pressing until the correct model number is
displayed (436A or 438A/437).
NOTE The E4418B and E4419B power meters have a “437 emulation” mode. This allows these
power meters, with an 848X-series power sensor, to be used with the network analyzer. In
this step, when selecting a power meter, choose the 438A/437 selection.
6. Press and enter
the correction factors as listed on the power sensor. Press (where fff is
the frequency in MHz) (where nnn is the calibration factor number)
for each correction factor. When finished, press .
7. Perform a one sweep power meter calibration over the IF frequency range at 5 dBm:
