Editing/Generating Sensor Calibration Tables
To help achieve the best accuracy in your measurement you can enter the
values supplied for the sensors you are using by editing the installed
sensor calibration tables or by generating your own custom tables.
You cannot delete any of the 20 existing calibration tables or create any
additional tables. However, you can edit or delete the content of each
table. If you need another table you should edit and re- name one of the
tables.Each calibration table can contain a maximum of 80 frequency
points.
To view the calibration tables currently stored in the power meter, press

DEFAULT is a sensor calibration table where the reference calibration factor and calibration
factors are 100%. This sensor calibration table can be used during the performance testing of the
power meter.
N O T E
Predefined sensor calbration factor table stored in power meter is not applicable for
Agilent N8480 Series power sensors with Option CFT. Therefore, users are required to
create a new sensor calibration table for the sensors when a sensor calibration table is
needed.
