Configuring A Power Measurement - Keysight N1911A User Manual

Configuring a Power Measurement

While the P-Series power meter may at first seem complex, configuring a
measurement and displaying the results can be quickly achieved.
You can configure the required measurements using the data entry from the
channel setup gate and trace menus.
However, it is easier using the trace display's Gate Control and Trace Control
menus to configure your initial set up, as it is a more interactive process and may
require less iterations between channel, triggering, gate, and display functions to
make a measurement.
Before configuring the measurements, you should have some information about
the signal you want to measure. For example, the following information can help
you quickly establish stable triggering and reliable measurement data:
– The Center Frequency (CF)
– The bandwidth of any modulating signal
– The expected maximum and minimum power levels
– Timing information for any pulsed signals
