Configure the Power Meter
1. Select SCPI as the remote language for the power meter.
2. Zero and calibrate the power sensor to the power meter.
3. Enter the appropriate power sensor calibration factors into the power meter as
appropriate.
4. Enable the power meter’s cal factor array.
NOTE For operating information on your particular power meter/sensor, refer to their
operating guides.
Connect the Equipment
CAUTION To prevent damage to the signal generator, turn off the line power to the signal
generator before connecting the source module interface cable to the rear panel
SOURCE MODULE interface connector.
1. Turn off the line power to the signal generator.
2. Connect the equipment. For standard signal generators, use the setup in Figure 3-4. For
Option 1EA signal generators, use the setup in Figure 3-5.
NOTE During the process of creating the user flatness correction array, the power
meter is slaved to the signal generator via GPIB. No other controllers are
allowed on the GPIB interface.
