Zero Test

Specification

Electrical Characteristics
Accuracy: Zero set (Digital settability of zero)
1. This performance limit is determined by the zero set specification of the power
sensor used in the measurement plus the measurement noise. The range
calibrator has a zero set specification of
noise specification is 110 nW at 16 averages. At 512 averages a noise multiplier of
0.24 is required, giving a measurement noise specification of 0.0264 µW
(0.24x512).

Description

After the power meter is initially calibrated and zeroed, the change in the
digital readout is monitored. This test also takes drift and noise into
account, since drift, noise and zero readings cannot be separated.
