For 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:
E4418B: 10 ms 2
E4419B: 20 ms 2
EPM series E4418B and E4419B power meters
Settling time 1
For 8480 series sensors:
Manual filter, 10 dB decreasing power step.

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.
