The Rear Panel at a Glance
1-16 Agilent E4418B User’s Guide
The Rear Panel at a Glance
1. Channel A (Option 002 or 003 only)
2. Power Ref (Option 003 only)
The power reference output is a 50 Ω type N connector. The output
signal is used for calibrating the sensor meter combination.
3. Recorder Output
This output produces a dc voltage that corresponds to the power
level of the channel input. Refer to “Recorder Output”, on
page 2-59 for further information.
4. Power socket
This power meter has an auto configuring power supply. This
allows it to operate over a range of voltages without manually
being set to a certain voltage.
5. Fuse
An F3.15AH fuse is installed for all voltage supplies.
6. GP-IB
This connector allows the power meter to be controlled remotely
using the General Purpose Interface Bus.
7. RS232/422
This connector allows the power meter to be controlled remotely
using either the RS232 or RS422 serial interface standards.
