Using Power Correction

Power Correction Example: Selecting a Correction Profile

1Press the Shift key, and then press the Menu (Reset/Local) key.

2Press either the up- or down-arrow key repeatedly until “PWR CORR > OFF” is displayed as shown below:

3Press the right-arrow key once.

The flashing pointer in the Power Correction display changes direction to indicate that you can now use the up- and down-arrow keys to select a power-correction profile (or select OFF to disable Power Correction). The current setting for Power Correction (OFF or a number between 1 and 9) also flashes.

4Press the up- and/or down-arrow key repeatedly until the number of the power-correction profile you want to use is displayed.

For this example, choose profile number 3.

If no data points were entered into the correction profiles previously, each of the nine power-correction profiles contains only two valid data points—0.0 dB loss at 1 GHz and 0.0 dB loss at the highest frequency the Counter can measure (20 GHz for the 53150A, 26.5 GHz for the 53151A, or 46 GHz for the 53152A). The remaining eight data points in each of the profiles initially contain values of 0.0 dB loss at 0.0 GHz. (This example assumes that valid loss and frequency values were previously entered in two or more of the data points in this profile.)
