Interconnections and Calibration
Connect one end of an Agilent 11730 series sensor cable to the Agilent E-series
E9300 power sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the power
meter’s channel input. Allow a few seconds for the power meter to download
the power sensor’s calibration table.
Caution The Agilent 9304A Sensor is DC coupled. DC voltages in excess of the
maximum value (5 Vdc) can damage the sensing diode.
Note Ensure power sensors and cables are attached and removed in an
indoor environment.
To carry out a zero and calibration cycle as requested by the power meter
proceed as follows:
• Ensure the Agilent E-series E9300 power sensor is disconnected from
any signal source.
• When calibrating Agilent E-series E9300B or E9301B sensors, first
remove the attenuator.
