Cal

Press this softkey to access a menu which allows you to calibrate the power meter. Calibration sets the gain of the power meter using a 50 MHz oscillator as a traceable power reference.

Cal A

Press this softkey to calibrate channel A with the connected power sensor. The POWER REF output is used as the signal source for calibration and is automatically switched on during this procedure.

A Ref CF

Press this softkey to enter a reference calibration factor for channel A. A value in the range of 1% to 150% can be entered. The default value is obtained from the sensor calibration table

if one is selected, otherwise it is 100%. Use the , ,

and hardkeys to change the value. To confirm your choice press %. This softkey cannot be selected when you are using an HP E-series power sensor.
