Power Meter Operation
Making Measurements using Frequency Dependent Offset Tables
2-32 Agilent E4419B User’s Guide
6. Press  . The current setting of the frequency is displayed 
under the   softkey.
7. To change this setting press  . The power meter displays 
the frequency in a pop up window. Modify this frequency (see 
below) as desired.
■ Use   or   to modify the digit on which the cursor is 
currently positioned.
■ Use   or   to move to other digits.
8. To confirm your choice press the appropriate frequency unit.
9. Connect the power sensor to the signal to be measured.
10. You must set the display to the type of measurement you require. 
This can either be a direct channel measurement, a ratio 
measurement of both channels, or a difference measurement 
between both channels. Use the following key presses:
Press  ,  . Select the appropriate softkey for 
the measurement you require, either  ,  ,  ,  , or  , 
then , or .
11. The measurement result is now displayed.
Note   If the measurement frequency does not correspond directly to a 
frequency in the sensor calibration table (if selected) and the 
frequency dependent offset table being used, the power meter 
calculates the calibration factor and offset using linear 
interpolation.
If you enter a frequency outside the frequency range defined in the 
sensor calibration table or the frequency dependent offset table, 
the power meter uses the highest or lowest frequency point in the 
appropriate table to set the calibration factor and offset.
The value of the calibration factors being used by the power meter 
to make a measurement is displayed under the   or 
 softkeys. 
Editing Frequency Dependent Offset Tables
You can edit frequency dependent offset tables using the “Edit” menu as 
shown in Figure 2-7.
