Setting the Range

The power meter has no internal ranges which can be set. The only ranges that
can be set are those of the Agilent E-Series power sensors or N8480 Series
power sensors (excluding Option CFT). With an Agilent E-Series power
sensors or N8480 Series power sensor (excluding Option CFT), the range can
be set either automatically or manually. Use autoranging when you are not
sure of the power level you will be measuring. There are two manual settings
either “

LOWER

” or “

UPPER

”. The lower range is more sensitive than the higher

range. “

LOWER

” covers the range of –70 dBm to –13.5 dBm. “

UPPER

” covers the

range of –14.5 dBm to +20 dBm. The default is “

AUTO

”.

To set the range:

1

Press

,

. The current setting of the range is

displayed under the

softkey.

2

To change this setting, press

. A pop-up window appears. Use

or

to highlight your choice.

3

To confirm your choice, press

The following procedure details how to set the range for channel A. To set the range on

channel B, use the same procedure using the
