Basic Settings
Setting the Drift Tolerance
The drift tolerance setting is only available for the self-adjusting modules
and is only applicable for the
Power Tracking
function (see
Using the
Power Tracking Function (Self-Adjusting Modules)
on page 56).
When you use the power tracking function, the internal power meter
monitors the output power level and constantly adjust the attenuation to
ensure that the output power does not exceed the limits set (drift
tolerance). For example, if the power of the source used for the test drifts
over time, the attenuation is adjusted so that the output power remains
within the preset limits.
