Nulling Offsets

To perform an offset nulling on one channel:
1.
Install the protective cap over the detector port.

2. If necessary, select the desired channel (on a multichannel high-speed

power meter).

To set the channel, see Selecting a Channel (IQS-1620, IQS-1640) on
page 21.

Offset nulling values are applied to the channel until a new nulling is
performed.

3. Under Channel, click the Nulling button. A message prompts you to

ensure that the detector cap is properly installed.

4. Select OK to perform the offset nulling, or Cancel to exit.

A red message appears beneath the power value of the channel for
which you are performing a nulling.

If you are using a multichannel power meter, you will notice that the
other channels will stop reading power while nulling is in progress.
