Power Sensor measurement example
The simplest test setup for a Power Sensor measurement involves one analyzer source port and a
power sensor. The power sensor is connected e.g. to the analyzer's USB port and provides the (scalar)
wave quantity results.
• The controls in the Power Meter panel show the configured power meters, open the System
Configuration – External Power Meters dialog for adding and configuring external power
meters, and start Auto Zeroing for the selected power meter.
