correction point’s frequency and power as it is measured.
l When the calibration is finished, the flatness correction is automatically
turned on, and the FLTNESS ON LED annunciator is lit on the front panel
of the sweeper. Power correction will be linearly interpolated between the
measured correction points. The POWER display will

Attention!
Before doing anything else, save this calibration in one of the instrument’s registers. If the calibration
has not been saved, and the instrument is preset, a register is recalled, or the power offset is
