Introduction
1-2 Agilent E4418B User’s Guide
Introduction
One of the first things you will want to do with your power meter is to
switch it on and become acquainted with its front panel. The sections in
this chapter prepare the power meter for use and help you get familiar
with some of the front panel operations.
The front panel consists of both hardkeys and softkeys which allow you to
select various functions and operations. When some hardkeys are selected
the corresponding softkey labels are displayed on the power meter display.
If you are using the power meter remotely refer to the Agilent
Technologies E4418B/4419B Programming Guide for remote operating
details.
