This section describes how to zero and calibrate the power meter and

sensor combination. You should always zero the power meter prior to

calibrating it.

<GTQKPI

Zeroing adjusts the power meter for a zero power reading with no power

applied to the power sensor. During zeroing the wait symbol is displayed.

To zero the power meter and sensor:

Press

and the channel

softkey. The

message and

wait symbol are displayed. On dual channel meters you can zero both

channels sequentially by pressing

. During zeroing the wait

symbol is displayed.

9JGPVQ<GTQ!

Zeroing of the power meter is recommended:

• when a 5

C change in temperature occurs.

• when you change the power sensor.

• every 24 hours.

• prior to measuring low level signals. For example, 10 dB above the

lowest specified power for your power sensor.

%CNKDTCVKQP

Calibration sets the gain of each power meter channel and sensor

combination using a 50 MHz 1 mW (0 dBm) signal. Use the power meter’s

POWER REF as a traceable power reference or a suitable external

reference signal. An essential part of calibrating is setting the correct

reference calibration factor for the power sensor you are using. You must

manually enter the reference calibration factor for an 8480 series power

sensor. The reference calibration factor is automatically set for all

E-series sensors.
