NOTE
Pressing the Enter key after entering values exits the Menu and restores the
measurement display. To remain in the Power Correction menu so you can enter
or change values in another data point in the currently selected, press the
left-arrow key repeatedly (after entering the values for a data point) until “PWR
CORR” is re-displayed, and then press the up- or down-arrow key to choose the
next data point you want to edit.
When you are entering or editing values in data points, the 10 single-line
annunciators that are part of the analog power display are used to indicate
which data point is being displayed. The left-most annunciator indicates that
the data displayed is contained in the lowest data point, data point 1. When the
first two annunciators on the left are activated, this indicates data point 2, and
so on through data point 10, which is indicated by all 10 annunciators.
The Power Correction function can be used to correct for gain from amplification
as well as for loss from attenuation. Since Power Correction is intended primarily
to correct for loss, loss values are entered as positive numbers. To enter values
for gain, use the Sign key (+/–) to change the sign of the value you enter.
