Using Sample-And-Sweep Correction Mode - Agilent Technologies 8719D User Manual

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 8719D/ZOD/ZZD as the system controller:
4. Set the power meter's address:
5. &lea the appropfiate power meter by pressing ~~~~~~~~~~~" Mtd the corre& model
Set test port power to the approximate desired corrected power.

your test device. For example, if you enter l-lo_] @, 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.
