Optimizing Performance
Using the Dual Power Meter Display
Example: Dual Power Meter Calibration
In the following example a U2004A USB Power Sensor is connected to channel A and a N1912A
P–Series Power Meter and 8482A Power Sensor are connected to channel B and are zeroed and
calibrated, as required.
On the signal generator:
1. Setup for Step Sweep. “Configuring a Swept Output” on page 50.
CAUTION Verify RF Output power is off before continuing.
2. Connecting the Channel A power sensor: Connect USB sensor to the signal generator. The
MXG/EXG should display a message across the bottom that reads similar to:
USB TMC488 device (USB POWER SENSOR,MY47400143) connected
Figure 5-4 MXG/EXG Displays Connection to U2000 USB Power Sensor
3. Press Aux Fctn > Power Meter Measurements > Channel A Setup > Connection Settings > Connection Type >
USB Device (None) > USB POWER SENSOR (MY47400143)
4. Press Return > Zero Sensor
A diagnostic dialog box appears the initial time that a U2000 Series power sensor with a
different serial number is connected to the signal generator (refer to Figure 5- 5). After the U2000
has been recognized by the signal generator, the U2000 power sensor is saved as a softkey in the
instrument and the dialog box in Figure 5- 5 won’t be displayed (press DONE, if you see this
message).
