Measurement speed (GPIB)
Over the GPIB, three measurement speeds are available
(normal, x 2 and fast). The typical maximum speed is
shown in the table below.

1. Power meter is within ±5 °C of its calibration temperature.
2. National metrology institutes of member states of the Metre Convention, such as the
National Institute of Standards and Technology in the USA, are signatories to the
ComitÈ International des Poids et Mesures Mutual Recognition Arrangement. Further
information is available from the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, at

3. Fast speed is not available for 8480 and N8480 series sensors.
4. Maximum measurement speed is obtained by using binary output in free run trigger.
5. For E9320 sensors, maximum speed is achieved using binary output in free run
acquisition.
