HP Saw E4419B manual Calibration Procedure using HP 8480 Series Power Sensors, Example

Power Meter Operation

Zeroing and Calibrating the Power Meter

Note	The following procedure details the calibration for channel A. To
	calibrate channel B use the same procedure using the equivalent
	channel B softkeys.
	1.	Press			.
				Zero

	Calibration Procedure using HP 8480 Series Power Sensors
	The following procedure describes how you calibrate the power meter with
	the HP 8480 series power sensors.
Note	V8486A and W8486A sensors
	For most 8480 series sensors the correct (A type or D type)
	linearity correction table is automatically selected. However, for
	the V8486A and W8486A sensors the automatic selection must be
	overriden and the D type correction selected. Subsequent
	connection of another A type sensor will result in a warning
	message stating that “Linearity Override May be Required”.

To select the linearity type to be applied:

Press	System	, Tables, A Linearity ATyp or
	Inputs

B Linearity ATyp or DTyp .
