Agilent Technologies E9300 manual Interconnections and Calibration

Getting Started

	First check the section labelled '63￿5HYLVLRQ￿. Release A.01.11 or later is
	required. If your power meter has an earlier release, please contact your
	nearest Service Office (listed on page -70) to arrange an upgrade.
	Next check the section labelled 0DLQ￿)￿:￿5HY￿. Release A1.04.00 or later is
	required for single channel meters; release A2.04.00 or later is required for dual
	channel meters. For E9300 power sensors with suffix ‘B’ or ‘H’, firmware
	revision A1.06.00 or later is required for single channel meters; revision
	A2.06.00 or later is required for dual channel meters. If your power meter has
	an earlier release, please contact your nearest Agilent Service Office (listed on
	page -70) to arrange an upgrade.
Note	You can carry out the firmware upgrade yourself if your power meter
	has the required. Access http://www.agilent.com/find/powermeters
	and click onthe link:
	“EPM Series E4418B Single-Channel Power Meter” or
	“EPM Series E4419B Dual-Channel Power Meter”. Click the
	“Software, Firmware and Drivers” link and follow the downloading
	instructions.

	Interconnections and Calibration
	Connect one end of an Agilent 11730 series sensor cable to the Agilent E-series
	E9300 power sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the power
	meter’s channel input. Allow a few seconds for the power meter to download
	the power sensor’s calibration table.
Caution	The Agilent 9304A Sensor is DC coupled. DC voltages in excess of the
	maximum value (5 Vdc) can damage the sensing diode.
Note	Ensure power sensors and cables are attached and removed in an
	indoor environment.

To carry out a zero and calibration cycle as requested by the power meter proceed as follows:

•Ensure the Agilent E-series E9300 power sensor is disconnected from any signal source.

•When calibrating Agilent E-series E9300B or E9301B sensors, first remove the attenuator.
