Chapter 15. Dual Sensor Operation
(ML2488A / ML2496A Only)
Displaying Measurements from Two Sensors
Simultaneously
As stated earlier in this manual, the ML2488A can display the results for both sensor
inputs simultaneously. The user may wish to simply display both measurements as is, but
more likely, may want to set one channel to calculate the gain between the two
measurements. This scenario is shown in the figure below.
1. Press the Channel hard key followed by the Set Up soft key to display the [Channel
Set Up] dialog.
2. Use the soft keys to set the “Mode” to “Pulsed/Modulated” or “CW” as required.
3. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Meas display” and use the soft keys
to select “Readout”.
4. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Input Config” and then press the
Sngl/Cmb soft key.
5. For the purposes of our example above, we will select B-A to calculate the gain in
dBm.
6. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Units” and use the soft keys to select
“dBm”.
7. Press the Ch1/Ch2 hard key.
8. Use the soft keys to set the “Mode” to “Pulsed/Modulated”.
9. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Meas display” and use the soft keys
to select “Readout”.
10. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Input Config”, and use the soft keys to
select “A”.
11. Press the down arrow on the keypad to select “Units” and use the soft keys to select
“dBm”.
