Making Measurements using Frequency Dependent 
Offset Tables
This section describes how to use frequency dependent offset tables.
Frequency dependent offset tables provide you with a quick and 
convenient method of compensating for your external test setup over a 
range of frequencies. Note that when selected, frequency dependent offset 
correction is IN ADDITION to any correction applied for sensor frequency 
response.
The power meter is capable of storing 10 frequency dependent offset tables 
of 80 frequency points each.
To use frequency dependent offset tables you:
1. Select the table to work on a channel. Refer to “Selecting a 
Frequency Dependent Offset Table”, on page 2-30 for further 
information. If you require to edit the table refer to “Editing 
Frequency Dependent Offset Tables”, on page 2-32 for further 
information.
2. Zero and calibrate the power meter. The reference calibration 
factor used during the calibration is automatically set by the 
power meter from the sensor calibration table (if selected).
3. Specify the frequency of the signal you want to measure. The 
calibration factor/offset is automatically set by the power meter 
from the sensor calibration table (if selected) and the frequency 
dependent offset table. Refer to “Making the Measurement”, on 
page 2-31 for further information.
4. Make the measurement.
Selecting a Frequency Dependent Offset Table
You can select a frequency dependent offset table for use by pressing 
, ,  ,   or 
. The “State” field indicates if any frequency 
dependent offset tables are currently selected. The “Offset Tbls” screen is 
displayed as shown in Figure 2-6.
