Linearity Factors. Seven upscale and downscale linearity factors are assigned to each power sensor. These values can be
viewed or edited by moving the cursor to the UPSCALE or DOWNSCALE command and pressing the key. The
instrument will sequence through the linearity factors by pressing the up/down arrow keys. If a value is to be edited, scroll to
the desired linearity factor, use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the first digit in value field and then use the up/down
arrow keys to increment/decrement the number. Set the remaining digits in the same manner. If another value needs to be
changed, move the cursor back to the range field and use the up/down arrow keys to display the next value to be modified.
Press the key when all of the changes have been entered.
