Relative and Offset Power Measurements
Power measurements can be made that are relative to another reading or that
are offset by a fixed value.
— Use Relative to measure the difference between power levels.
— Use Offset to account for components or a long length of cable that is used
before the power sensor. For example, if using a 10 dB attenuator to protect
the FieldFox, enter an Offset Value of 10 to read the power as it would
appear without attenuation. If using a 10 dB amplifier, enter an Offset Value
of –10 to read the power as it would appear without amplification.
How to set Relative and Offset Power Measurements
— Press
Scale / Amptd
.
— Then choose from the following:
—
Relative Off On
When switched to ON, the FieldFox measures and
stores the current power level. Subsequent power measurements
display a power level which is relative to the stored value. When
relative is ON, the units change from dBm to dB or from Watts to %.
—
Offset Off On Toggles ON and OFF the displayed power level using
the Offset value.
—
Offset Val
Value by which the power meter display is offset. A
positive value compensates for a component with loss. A negative
value compensates for a component with gain. Offset values are
limited to +/- 100 dB.
Display Units
Select whether to display power in dBm or Watts. When making relative power
measurements, these change to dB and %.
