Operation Verification Checking the Output Power
N5161A1/81A Test Procedure
Test Setup
1.Zero and calibrate the power sensor to the power meter:
power meter.
b.Select a power meter channel (if applicable).
c.Use the arrow keys to enter the frequency at which to measure the power.
9.Measure the output power level.
10.Repeat steps 6 through 9 to measure power at each of the 15 frequencies listed in Table 3- 8.
11.Confirm that the measured power levels are within the limits listed in the table.
2. Connect the equipment as shown:
3.Preset the signal generator: Press Preset.
4.Turn RF on: Press RF On/Off so that the RF On/Off LED lights.
5.Turn modulation off: Press Mod On/Off so that the Mod On/Off LED turns off.
6.Set the frequency: Press Frequency and enter the first frequency value listed in Table 3- 8.
7.Set the amplitude: Press Amplitude and enter the amplitude value for that frequency.
8.Configure the power meter for the measurement.
a. Press the Frequency Cal Fac button on the
1.For the N5161A/62A these softkey menus and features are only available through the
Web- Enabled MXG or through SCPI commands. Refer to the Programming Guide or to the SCPI Command Reference.
NOTE Limit values are due to power meter uncertainty.
