Installing the Calibration Factors

Cal factors can be entered and stored in an internal table (Automatic

Cal Factors) in the PSA's non-volatile memory. The table is

automatically accessed during RF power measurements (after the

measuring receiver has tuned to the frequency) to correct for the

non-linear response of the power sensor. If no entry in the table directly

corresponds to the frequency being measured, the measuring receiver

derives a cal factor through linear interpolation using the nearest

calibration points in the table.

There are two methods of installing the sensor module calibration

factors (cal factors) in the N5530S Measuring Receiver System.

The first method loads and saves the cal factors using the PC. The

second method uses the PSA to load the data.

Using the PC to Load and Save the Cal Factors

1. Insert the N5532A Sensor Module Data Disk in the PC A:\ drive.

NOTE

If your PC does not have a floppy disc drive, use the PSA to save your

cal data to your PC. Then use this procedure to load the sensor cal

factors into the system.

2. Select Calibration Factors to bring up the Calibration View

Edit dialog box.

3. Press Load Cal File in the Calibration View Edit dialog box. The

Open Calibration File dialog box appears.

4. Navigate to the PC A:\ drive if necessary and select the CFData.XML
