E-Series sensors In FAST mode (using free run trigger), within the range –50 dBm to +17 dBm, for a 10 dB decreasing
power step, the settling time is:
N1913A: 10 ms
2
N1914A: 20 ms 2
1. Settling time: 0 to 99% settled readings over the GPIB.
2. When a power step crosses through the sensor’s auto-range switch point, add 25 ms. Refer to the relevant sensor manual for switch point information.
Settling time 1
Manual filter, 10-dB decreasing power step for normal and x2 modes (not across
range switch points for E-Series and N8480 Series sensors).
