Using P-Series Power Sensor 3

Configuring a Power Measurement
While the P- Series power meter may at first seem complex, configuring a
measurement and displaying the results can be quickly achieved.
You can configure the required measurements using the data entry from
the channel setup gate and trace menus.
However, it is easier using the trace display’s Gate Control and Trace Control
menus to configure your initial set up, as it is a more interactive process
and may require less iterations between channel, triggering, gate, and
display functions to make a measurement.
Before configuring the measurements, you should have some information
about the signal you want to measure. For example, the following
information can help you quickly establish stable triggering and reliable
measurement data:
• The Center Frequency (CF)
• The bandwidth of any modulating signal
• The expected maximum and minimum power levels
• Timing information for any pulsed signals
