IviPwrMeter Offset

IviPwrMeterBase Property

Data type	Access	Applies to	Coercion	High Level VIs
	R/W	Channels	None	None

Description

This channel-based property specifies an offset to be added to the measured value on a channel in units of dB. This property can be used to compensate for system losses or gains between the unit under test and the sensor of the power meter.
A positive value is used for loss compensation. A negative value is used for gain compensation. For example, a cable loss of 2 dB could be compensated for by setting this property to +2. Similarly, a gain stage of 10 dB could be accounted for by setting the value of this property to -10. In both cases, the reading from the power meter will indicate the power at the unit under test rather than power at the power meter's sensor.
