Editing/Generating Sensor Calibration Tables
To help achieve the best accuracy in your measurement you can enter the values
supplied for the sensors you are using by editing the installed sensor calibration
tables or by generating your own custom tables.
You cannot delete any of the 20 existing calibration tables or create any additional
tables. However, you can edit or delete the content of each table. If you need
another table you should edit and rename one of the tables. Each calibration table
can contain a maximum of 80 frequency points.
To view the calibration tables currently stored in the power meter, press ,
, . The Sensor Tbls screen is displayed as shown in
Figure 6-8.
Table 6-3 Installed power sensor models
Predefined sensor calibration factor table stored in power meter is not
applicable for Keysight N8480 Series power sensors with Option CFT. Therefore,
users are required to create a new sensor calibration table for the sensors when
a sensor calibration table is needed.

[a] DEFAULT is a sensor calibration table where the reference calibration factor and calibration factors are 100%. This sensor calibration table
can be used during the performance testing of the power meter.
[b] The 8482B and 8482H power sensors use the same data as the 8482A.
