CALCulate Subsystem
The CALCulate subsystem performs post acquisition data processing.
Functions in the SENSe subsystem are related to data acquisition, while
the CALCulate subsystem operates on the data acquired by a SENSe
function.
There are four independent CALCulate blocks in the power meter: two for
each window. The numeric suffix of the CALCulate command determines
which CALCulate block will be used and where the measurement result
will be displayed:
•
•
•
•
Data from both SENSe blocks may feed any or all of the CALCulate blocks
via the MATH command. Figure 3-1 details where the commands are
applied within the CALCulate block.
