key. To select a known signal standard, press the
Signal Standard soft key and
use the Up/Down arrow key to select the desired standard. The Cal Factors will
be derived for the corresponding center frequency.
NOTE: The channel number is not required because the cal factor frequencies
are rounded to the nearest 500 MHz.
Step 8.
With no power applied to the sensor, press the AMPLITUDE key then the
Zero
soft key to zero the sensor. Zeroing the sensor is recommended when making
power measurements below –20 dBm.
