CALCulate Subsystem
The CALCulate subsystem performs post acquisition data processing.
Functions in the SENSe subsystem are related to data acquisition, while
the CALCulate subsystem operates on the data acquired by a SENSe
function.
There are four independent CALCulate blocks in the power meter: two for
each window, as shown in Figure 3- 18. The numeric suffix of the
CALCulate command determines which CALCulate block is used and
where the measurement result is displayed.

Data from both SENSe blocks may feed any or all of the CALCulate blocks
via the MATH command. Figure 3- 18 details where the commands are
applied with in the CALCulate block.
