Calibrating, zeroing
Zeroing removes offset voltages from the analog circuitry of the power sensor, so that
there are only low powers displayed if no power applied. The zeroing process can take
more than 8
seconds to complete.
Zeroing is recommended if:
●
The temperature has varied by more than 5
K.
●
The power sensor has been replaced.
●
No zeroing was performed in the last 24
hours.
●
Signals of very low power are to be measured, for instance, if the expected mea-
sured value is less than 10
dB above the lower measurement range limit.
Turn off all test signals before zeroing. An active test signal during zeroing causes an
error.

CALibration:DATA
<caldata>
Writes a binary calibration data set in the memory of the power sensor.
Parameters:
<caldata>
<block_data>
CALibration:DATA:LENGth?
Queries the length in bytes of the calibration data set currently stored in the flash mem-
ory. Programs that read out the calibration data set can use this information to deter-
mine the capacity of the buffer memory required.
Example:
CAL:DATA:LENG?
