Anritsu ML2430A operation manual Offset

OPERATION SENSOR MENU

Offset

NOTE

Use Fixed or Table to compensate for a fixed attenuator on a sensor for measuring higher power levels. A better method is to apply a Fixed cal factor in the User tables as this is then taken into account in the Zero/Cal pro- cess.

RESET

Sweep average reset. If the graph sweep averaging state is ON, this key resets the data points and restarts the sweep to sweep mode.

CURSOR Between cursor averaging ON or OFF. When ON, a digital readout

[GRSWR] of the average power between the two cursors is displayed in the readout area of the PROFILE display.

Allows an offset, in dB, to be applied to sensor data for the selected sensor.

SENSOR	Model ML2438A (dual channel) only. Used to select the sensor to
	be configured. Toggles between Channel A and Channel B for all
	submenu functions.
TYPE	Selects the type of offset to be applied:
[OFFTYP]
	Off
	No offset applied.
	Fixed
	A fixed dB offset VALUE is applied to the sensor data.
	Table
	The tables are a set of frequency-against-dB offsets. The offset
	value used from the table depends on the setting of the frequency
	correction source. If the source is FREQUENCY, the entered fre-
	quency is used to calculate the offset from the table. If the fre-
	quency correction source is V/GHz, the frequency value calculated
	from the supplied ramp input is used to calculate the offset from the
	table.
	If the frequency does not match any frequency in the table, interpo-
	lation is used to calculate the correct offset.
	NOTE
	If the frequency is greater than the maximum frequency in
	the table, the offset value from the maximum table fre-
	quency is used. If the frequency is less than the minimum
	frequency in the table, the offset from the minimum table
	frequency is used.
VALUE	Enter the offset value (dB) when Offset TYPE is set to Fixed. Valid
[OFFFIX	range is –99.99 to +99.99.
