Editing/Generating Sensor Calibration Tables
To help achieve the best accuracy in your measurement you can enter the
values supplied for the sensors you are using by editing the installed
sensor calibration tables or by generating your own custom tables.
You cannot delete any of the 20 existing calibration tables or create any
additional tables. However, you can edit or delete the content of each
table. If you need another table you should edit and re- name one of the
tables.Each calibration table can contain a maximum of 80 frequency
points.
To view the calibration tables currently stored in the power meter, press

DEFAULT is a sensor calibration table where the reference calibration factor and calibration
factors are 100%. This sensor calibration table can be used during the performance testing of the
power meter.

The Agilent 8482B and Agilent 8482H power sensors use the same data as the Agilent 8482A.
There are also ten sensor calibration tables named CUSTOM_0 through
CUSTOM_9. These tables do not contain any data when the power meter
is shipped from the factory.
