Zeroing

The Keysight USB Power Sensors perform Internal Zeroing automatically.
Because Keysight USB Power Sensors have an internal switch, Internal Zeroing
does NOT require that the power source be turned OFF.
For highest measurement accuracy, when measuring power levels below –30
dBm, External Zeroing should be performed.
During External Zeroing, the power source MUST be turned OFF or the power
sensor disconnected from the power source (device under test). Power is OFF
when power sensor measurements are below –60 dBm. When power higher
than this is detected at the sensor, a warning message is shown on the
FieldFox and External Zeroing will not proceed.
External Zeroing is NOT allowed on the U2020 X-series Power Sensors.
How to perform External Zeroing
— Press Cal 5.
— Then
While either Internal or External Zeroing is being performed, "Zeroing..." is
shown on the FieldFox screen. While this message is present, do NOT make
any changes to the FieldFox.
