Calibration Procedure Using Agilent E-Series Power sensors
and N8480 Series Power Sensors (excluding Option CFT)
The following procedure describes how you calibrate the power meter with an
Agilent E-Series power sensors or N8480 Series power sensor (excluding
Option CFT). Since the power meter automatically downloads the
Agilent E-Series power sensors or N8480 Series power sensor (excluding
Option CFT)'s calibration table, there is no requirement to enter the reference
calibration factor. The power meter identifies that an Agilent E-Series power
sensors or N8480 Series power sensor (excluding Option CFT) is connected
and will not allow you to select certain softkeys. The text on these softkeys
appears grayed out.
During calibration, the power meter automatically switches the power reference calibrator
N O T E
on (if it is not already on), then after calibration, it switches it to the state it was in prior to
the calibration.
