Optimizing PerformanceUsing the Dual Power Meter DisplayFigure 5-3Configuring the Power Sensor ChannelsAUX Fctn > Power MeterMeasurementsNote: This figure illustrates channel A, but channel B is similar.Enables the power meterconnection type: SocketsLAN, VXI–11 LAN, or USB.Note: The VXI–11 softkey isused to communicateremotely with a power meterthat has a GPIB connectorvia LAN–GPIB gateway.USB U2000A Series PowerSensors do not require thesensor to be calibrated.The MXG uses the USBU2000A Series PowerSensor’s “Internal” zero.Refer to the USB U2000ASeries Power Sensor’sdocumentation.Zero Sensor andCalibrate Sensor softkeysare inactive during ameasurement.Selects the channel on theexternal power meter that thepower sensor is connected to.Selects the frequency thatchannel A has been calibrated to.Enables a power offset in dB forthe current channel.Enables averaging. Instrumentdefault is Auto with 1024 points.Sockets LAN: Sets theIP port to 5025 (standard)or 5023 (telnet)programming.Sets the power meter’s IPaddress or LAN–GPIBgateway’s IP address (SocketsLAN and VXI–11 LAN only).Whether a softkey is availabledepends on the selectedConnection Type.For details on each key, use key help asdescribed on page 42.VXI–11 LAN: Opens amenu for entering adevice name for thepower meter being used.84 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
