Level offset
In an ideal measurement setup, the relation between the output power of the DUT to
the input power is linear throughout the measured power range. However, due to cable
loss, for instance, a level offset can occur. By defining a known level offset for the mea-
surement, you can shift the x-axis scale to compensate for the loss. Nevertheless, you
define the correct power start level and stop level to be applied to the DUT and swept
by the measurement.
Reference point
By default, the linear trace describing the relation between the output power of the
DUT to the input power is assumed to start at the defined start power level. The start-
ing point is referred to as the reference point for the compression measurement.
