4. Preset the power meter:
Press , then on the power meter.
Set the Agilent 432A RANGE switch to Coarse Zero. Adjust the front
panel Coarse Zero control to obtain a zero meter indication.
5. Zero the Agilent 432A test power meter:
•Fine zero the Agilent 432A on the most sensitive range.
•Set the RANGE switch to 1 mW.
6. Set the DVM to measure microvolts.
7. Connect the positive and negative input leads to the V
comp
and V
RF
connectors respectively, on the rear panel of the test power meter.
8. Observe the reading on the DVM. If less than 400 µV, proceed to the
next step. If 400 µV or greater, press and hold the test power meter
Fine Zero switch and adjust the Coarse Zero control so that the DVM
indicates 200 µV or less. Release the Fine Zero switch and proceed to
the next step.
9. Round the DVM reading to two decimal places.
Record this reading as V

14.Calculate the Power Reference Oscillator power using equation 2-4.
15.Verify that P
meas
is within the limits shown in Table 2-5 and record the
reading in the table.
