3 Using P-Series Power Sensor
152 Keysight N1911A/1912A User’s Guide
Setting the Trace Display
The P-Series power meter is optimized to operate in the trace display mode when
measuring a pulsed signal.
The swiftest method to get the power meter into a trace display is described in the
following procedure:
1 Connect the power sensor to the power meter and connect it to the power
source
2 Set the Channel Frequency
3 Set the Trigger to Continuous
4 Set the Display to Trace
5 Expand window and use the Gate control and Trace control menus to set the
gate markers, trigger delay, and scale.
6 When you are satisfied with the configuration you may want to save it for
future use. See “Saving and Recalling Power Meter States” on page 137 for
further information.
The procedure assumes you are starting from a default preset.
You can return to other menus later to add more accuracy on the measurement,
for example, Channel Setup, to set the measurement average, the video average
and the bandwidth of a modulating signal.
