Using Frequency Dependent Offset Tables; Overview - Agilent Technologies N1911A Programming Manual

Using Frequency Dependent Offset Tables

This section describes how to use frequency dependent offset tables. These
tables give you the ability to compensate for frequency effects in your test
setup.

Overview

If the [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:CORRection:CSET2:STATe command is OFF,
the frequency dependent offset tables are not used. When
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:CORRection:CSET2:STATe is ON, the frequency
dependent offset tables are used, providing you with a quick and
convenient method of compensating for your external test setup over a
range of frequencies. Note that when selected, frequency dependent offset
correction is IN ADDITION to any correction applied for sensor frequency
response. The power meter is capable of storing 10 frequency dependent
offset tables of 80 frequency points each.
To use frequency dependent offset tables you:
1 Edit a frequency dependent offset table if necessary.
2 Select the frequency dependent offset table.
3 Enable the frequency dependent offset table.
4 Zero and calibrate the power meter.
5 Specify the frequency of the signal you want to measure. The required
6 Make the measurement.
