4530 Series RF Power Meter Operation
Table 3-4. Zero/Cal Menu - (Cont)
CalSource Selects the calibrator to be used for calibration. Two calibration sources are possible for FixedCal
and AutoCal procedures, and the Zero command also allows a calibrator to be specified. In the case
of the zero, it does not actually use the selected calibrator, but the CalSource is used to determine
which calibrator’s RF output will be turned off during sensor zeroing. All Model 4530 Series RF
Power Meters contain a 50 MHz step calibrator. An optional accessory 1 GHz calibrator Model 2530
can also be used for sensor calibration to reduce measurement uncertainty on signals close to or
above 1 GHz (See Appendix B). The CalSource setting has no effect on FreqCal, since it uses a user
source for the power reference.
Int/50MHz Select the internal 50 MHz calibrator
Ext/1GHz Select the external 1 GHz 2530 calibrator
GPIB Command Syntax: CALibration:INTernal:{ZERO|AUTOcal|FIXEDcal|}[?] for 50 MHz
CALibration:EXTernal:{ZERO|AUTOcal|FIXEDcal|}[?] for 1 GHz
CalCancel Cancel the sensor calibration and zero data in non-volatile memory and set default values. Do not
use this function to abort a calibration in progress. Press the ESC/Stop key to abort calibration and
restore saved values. There is no equivalent GPIB command for this menu item.
3.11 MENU REFERENCE
The section contains a list of all menu commands accepted by the Model 4530. The list is grouped by menus, with the
“Main Menu” as the top level. When a sub-menu or item is highlighted, pressing the Enter/Run key will activate that
option or, in some cases, take you to a further submenu or option. For example, to set markers to the Vertical Mode,
scroll to and highlight Markers. Press Enter/Run and scroll to
Mrkr Mode , highlight and press Enter/Run. Highlight
Vertical and press Enter/Run.
Main Menu > Markers > Mrkr Mode > Vertical ( > = Enter key or right arrow key)
Sections 3.11.1 to 3.11.10 contain detailed descriptions of all items in each top-level menu, and the final section
contains a summary of the entire menu structure.
