Power Meter Settings - Agilent Technologies FieldFox N9913A User Manual

CAUTION
How to Connect the Power Sensor
Connect your Power Sensor to one of the FieldFox USB ports.
NOTE Use an attenuator between the DUT and the power sensor when measuring
power levels that are higher than +20 dBm. The attenuator value can be
subtracted from the measurement using the Offset feature, discussed on page
137.
A sequence of status lights are displayed on the base of the power sensor.
 Green blinking light indicates the power sensor is communicating or self-tests
 Amber light indicates Zeroing is being performed.
 Red light indicates an error has occurred with the power sensor. Refer to
 No light indicates the FieldFox is not communicating with the power sensor.
