4530 Series RF Power Meter Operation
3.4.3 Graph Mode. The Graph Mode can present an oscilloscope style trace of power versus time or power
versus percent probability in statistical mode. Each channel may be viewed individually, or both can be
overlaid to make channel-to-channel comparisons. User programmable cursors can be moved back and forth
or up and down on the trace to define measurement regions of interest.

3.4.4 Edit Mode. Edit Mode is an extension of the basic Graph Mode or Text Mode operation. The screen’s
measurement window continues to display and update the active measurement, but the two-line header area
at the top of the screen is used as an edit window. The arrow keys scroll through a list of commonly accessed
parameters, and allow these parameters to be updated “on the fly” without the need to return to Menu Mode.

3.4.5 Zero/Calibration Mode . When the 4530 is placed in Zero/Calibration Mode, a special menu is displayed
that allows quick, single-key access to the instrument’s sensor zeroing and linearity calibration functions. A
configuration submenu is available for each channel to set up certain calibration parameters.
