Using the Calibration/Correction Factors
The N432A provides two methods of using the calibration factors:
• inputting an individual calibration factor for a frequency prior to
making the measurement, or
• using sensor calibration tables.
If you are making most of your measurements at a single frequency, or in
a narrow range of frequencies, entering a specific calibration factor is a
more effective method. Only a minimal amount of data entry is required.
However, if you are making measurements on a wide range of signal
frequencies, a sensor table is more effective as you only need to enter the
frequency of the signal you are measuring. The N432A automatically
selects and applies the calibration factor from the selected table.
Frequency-specific calibration factors
Use the following procedure to set the calibration factor for the frequency
of the signal you want to measure.
1
Check the current calibration factor setting by pressing >
. The value is displayed on the
Cal Fac
setting field.
2 Verify that the value matches the calibration factor of the sensor listed
in the calibration factor table on the sensor body.
3
To change the setting, use the up/down arrow key to highlight the
Cal
Fac
setting field and press to display the
Cal Factor
pop- up. Use
the numeric keypad to enter the required value.
