FIELD STRENGTH
• Indicates actual measured value
• Unit of measure is always % STD
for shaped frequency response
probes
BAR GRAPH
• Indicates approximate
field strength
• 100 segment, three
10:1 (10 dB) ranges
MAXIMUM VALUE
• Indicates the
maximum value that
has occurred since
you began making
measurements or
since resetting the
maximum using
F2 (MAXR)
• The unit of measure is
the same as for the
instantaneous value
shown on the line
above.
PROBE FREQUENCY
CORRECTION
• CF = 1.00 indicates
no correction factor is
being applied
• CF= X.XX indicates
the numeric value that
is being applied
• A frequency displayed
here indicates that the
meter is applying a
correction factor
based on the stored
calibration data for the
specific probe in use.
