Power Meter Operation

Setting the Range

Setting the Range

The power meter has no internal ranges which can be set. The only ranges that can be set are those of the HP E-series power sensors. With an

HP E-series power sensor the range can be set either automatically or manually. Use autoranging when you are not sure of the power level you will be measuring. There are two manual settings either “LOWER” or “UPPER”. The lower range is more sensitive than the higher range. “LOWER” covers the range of -70 dBm to -13.5 dBm. “UPPER” covers the range of -14.5 dBm to +20 dBm. The default is “AUTO”.
