Setting Channel Offsets

The power meter can be configured to compensate for a signal loss or gain in
your test setup (for example, to compensate for the loss of a 10 dB attenuator).
This gain or loss referred to as a channel offset, is added to the measured
power before the result is displayed.
Offsets are entered in dB. The allowable range of values is –100 dB to +100 dB.
A positive value compensates for a loss and a negative value compensates for a
gain.
If either a channel or a display offset is set, then "Ofs" is displayed.
To enter a channel offset which compensates for a loss or gain:
