3.2 Displayed Readings

The 'Power Reading' page is the main page of the power sensor which shows the actual measurement value and some important settings. Parameter settings reported here, are for information only. To change a setting switch to the Setup page. The 'Power Reading' page automatically refreshes once a second. The table below describes the information shown by this page:

Parameter Name Description
power reading Shows the actually measured power. The displayed value is the calibrated power at the power sensor's input with the frequency compensation values and an optional level offset added.
frequency compensation If you have set the frequency value at the Setup page to a non-zero value, the power sensor interpolates this frequency in the frequency response calibration table and includes this value into the displayed power value. The amount of frequency response compensation applied is displayed in this field.
additional level offset At the Setup page, you may enter an additional level offset which also is included into the displayed value. The value actually used by the power sensor is displayed here.
sensor temperature Shows the temperature inside the power sensor's enclosure.
averaging Shows the averaging mode actually used by the power sensor.
input sensivity Shows the input amplifier range actually used.
alarm threshold Shows the alarm threshold actually set at the Setup page. If the displayed power reading falls below this limit, an alarm is reported and the normally closed alarm contact is opened.
alarm state Shows the actual alarm state (OK /FAULT)
