NOTES Pressing the Enter key after entering values exits the Menu and restores
the measurement display. To remain in the Power Correction menu so you
can enter or change values in another data point in the currently selected,
press the left-arrow key repeatedly (after entering the values for a data
point) until “PWR CORR” is re-displayed, and then press the up- or down-
arrow key to choose the next data point you want to edit.
When you are entering or editing values in data points, the 10 single-line
annunciators that are part of the analog power display are used to
indicate which data point is being displayed. The left-most annunciator
indicates that the data displayed is contained in the lowest data point,
data point 1. When the first two annunciators on the left are activated,
this indicates data point 2, and so on through data point 10, which is
indicated by all 10 annunciators.
The Power Correction function can be used to correct for gain from
amplification as well as for loss from attenuation. Since Power Correction
is intended primarily to correct for loss, loss values are entered as positive
numbers. To enter values for gain, use the Sign key (+/–) to change the
sign of the value you enter.
