Troubleshooting Problems with the Output Power Check

•

Verify that you are using the appropriate power sensor.

•

Normally, power sensor calibration factors are automatically downloaded to the power meter when the power meter
turns on. If this does not occur, manually enter the correct calibration factors for the power sensor you are using.

•

Verify that the power sensor is properly calibrated to the power meter.
