Frequency Specific Calibration Factors
This section shows you how to make a measurement using the calibration factor
for the frequency of the signal you want to measure.
1 Zero and calibrate the power meter/sensor combination.
2 Set the calibration factor value for the frequency of the signal you want to
measure.
3 Make the measurement.
Procedure
First, select and enter the reference calibration factor for the desired sensor as
follows:
1 Ensure the power sensor is disconnected from any signal source.
2 Refer to the connection requirements in Table 5-1 and ensure the sensor is
ready for connection to the Power Reference.
3 Check the current reference calibration factor setting by pressing
, , and . The value is displayed under the channel
softkey.
4 To change the settings, press the channel . The reference calibration
factor pop up window is displayed as shown in Figure 5-3. Use the numeric
keypad to enter the required value in the Ref Cal Factor pop-up menu.
Tip This method is best suited to making several measurements at one
frequency as you need only enter a small amount of data.
Using this method requires the following steps:
Does this setting match the value for the sensor? (The power sensor reference
calibration factor can normally be found above the calibration factors table on
the power sensor body.)
