V8486A and W8486A sensors
For most 8480 Series sensors, the correct (A type or D type) linearity correction table is
automatically selected. The linearity-type field on the measurement screen is grayed out.
Under the gray-out condition, the selected linearity correction table that is displayed on
the screen is irrelevant to the correct linearity correction table that is automatically
selected by power meter firmware.
However, for the V8486A and W8486A sensors ( V8486A and W8486A sensors only ,) the
automatic selection must be overridden by selecting the D type linearity. Subsequent
connection of another A type sensor while the D type is selected will result in a warning
message stating that “Linearity Override May be Required”.
To select the linearity type to be applied:
