SEE FOR YOURSELF
The 8650A incorporates a
3.72” wide by 2.15” high
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
with 240 x 120 dot resolu-
tion, 0.38 mm dot pitch, and
Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp (CCFL) back light for
maximum detail and opti-
mum viewing.
The large display lets you
see more information. And
the display works in tandem
with the meter controls to
let you view menu selections
and see your input data as
you enter it.
You can view calibration
information, select a standard
mode, setup and recall pre-
configured, custom modes,
and set measurement points
and durations.
Each sensor uses an EEPROM to
store values of cal factor. Entering
the measurement frequency
automatically calls up the correct
cal factor. If the measurement
frequency is between cal factor
points, the meter automatically
enters an interpolated value.
An extensive list of help panels
provide assistance in setting up
special features and guidance
in making the measurement.
A volts per frequency input is
available to set the cal factor when
connected to an RF source. As the
source frequency is modified the
V/F output will automatically set
the power meter to the correct cal
factor, thereby eliminating the need
for manual input.
Peak (Pulse) power sensors can be
set to the desired measurement
point of a pulse signal. The trigger
point can be set using an internal
power level or a TTL signal.
Recall setup can be used to
pre-configure measurement
modes for later use. Full
descriptive details help to
clearly identify the settings
before recall.
The graphic display provides visual feedback as you set the
measurement start time and duration of the time gate to
measure the average power during a specific time period.
