Sample-And-Sweep Mode For Power Meter Calibration; Using Sample-And-Sweep Correction Mode - HP 8753E User Manual

Using Sample-and-Sweep Correction Mode

You can use the sample-and-sweep mode to correct the analyzer output power and update
the power meter correction data table, during the initial measurement sweep. Because the
analyzer measures the actual power at each frequency point during the initial sweep, the initial
sweep time is significant. However, in this mode of operation the analyzer does not require the
power meter for subsequent sweeps. Therefore, this mode sweeps considerably faster than the
continuous correction mode.

1. Calibrate and zero the power meter.
2. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 5-8.
3. Select the HP 8753E as the system controller:
4. Set the power meter's address:
6. Set test port power to the approximate desired corrected power.

7. Press Cal] ~~~~~ and enter the test port power level that you want at the input to
your test device. For example, if you enter l-loJ @, the display will read CAL POWER -10.
8. If you want the analyzer to make more than one power measurement at each frequency
data point, press:

If you increase the number of readings, the power meter correction time will substantially
increase.
