Power Meter Operation
Zeroing and Calibrating the Power Meter
2-12 Agilent E4418B User’s Guide
Zeroing and Calibrating Using TTL Inputs
You can use the TTL inputs on the rear panel Rmt I/O port to initiate zero
and calibration cycles on the power meter. The connector is an RJ-45
series shielded modular jack with the TTL input pins connected as shown
in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3: Rmt I/O Port TTL Inputs
The TTL inputs are active low and control the zero and calibration
functions as shown in Table 2-2
