Power Meter Mode 

Power Meter measurements are made using a Keysight 
USB Power Sensor.  
For a complete list of supported Keysight USB Power 
Sensors, visit: 

www.keysight.com/find/usbsensorsforfieldfox 

Damage levels are: 

 

+25 dBm (320 mW) average 

 

+33 dBm peak (2 W) <10μs 

 

+5V 

Use an Attenuator between the DUT and the power 
sensor when measuring power levels that are higher than 
+20 dBm. The attenuator value can be subtracted from 
the measurement using Offset as follows: 
Select Offset 

 

Press 

Scale / Amptd 

 then 

Offset On Off 

  

 

Then 

Offset Val

 Enter a value by which the power 

meter display is offset. A positive value compensates 
for a component with loss, such as an attenuator.  

Zeroing 
The Keysight USB Power Sensors perform internal 
zeroing automatically. Internal zeroing does NOT require 
that the power source be turned OFF.  
Perform external zeroing when measuring power levels 
below -30 dBm. During external zeroing, the power 
source MUST either be turned OFF or the power sensor 
be disconnected from the DUT.   

 

Press 

Cal   5  

 

 

Then 

External Zero
