Linearity Performance Test

This test applies to the following models:

  • P-Series Power Meters,
    Normal Variant
    :

    N1911A

    N1912A

    N8262A

Average Path

The Linearity Average Path and Peak Path Test verifies measurement path linearity over the full input voltage range.

It does so by using a calibration DAC and a calibration ADC (built into the DUT) to stimulate and compare performance of the both paths against the measurement ADC. In each case, the worst case percentage error value is returned.

  • Make sure there are no power sensors connected to the DUT during this test.

  • The power meter must be power-cycled on completion of this test. Failure to do so may cause the instrument to stop responding to commands sent via GPIB.
