Splitter Compensation

When the measurement is made through a Test Access Port (also known as a TAP), it

is possible to compensate for the loss induced by this element and to display the actual

power level of the system.

Yes: activation of compensation and selection of value: from 1 to 30 dB (by increments

of 1) or 1 to 99% (by increments of 0.1%).

Choice of compensation in dB or percentage (%).

Define the Splitter Compensation using the numeric keypad (displayed via the Edit

Number menu key) or left/right direction keys.

For example, with a 10 dB splitter, the results will be augmented by 10 dB. The trace will

be offset upwards by 10 dB. A channel measured at -30 dBm will be displayed -20 dBm.
