Calibration
Calibration sets the gain of the power meter using a 50 MHz 1 mW
calibrator as a traceable power reference. The power meter’s POWER REF
output or a suitable external reference is used as the signal source for
calibration. An essential part of calibrating is setting the correct reference
calibration factor for the power sensor you are using. The N1913/1914A
EPM Series Power Meter User’s Guide require you to set the reference
calibration factor. The E- Series power sensors and N8480 Series power
sensors (excluding Option CFT) set the reference calibration factor
automatically. During calibration, the wait symbol is displayed. Offset,
relative, and duty cycle settings are ignored during calibration.
Figure 2-43 Calibration wait pop-up
During calibration, the power meter automatically switches the power reference calibrator
on (if it is not already on), then after calibration, it switches it to the state it was in prior to
the calibration.
