Special features
A unique feature of this microwave
signal generator is that it allows you to
directly connect an ¸NRP-Zx power
sensor. This has its advantages. The
power sensor enables you to measure
the power directly before the DUT and
display it on the ¸SMF100A. Irre-
spective of cable loss values or any com-
ponents connected between the DUT
and signal generator, you can thus set
the desired power on the DUT by using
the ¸SMF100A microwave signal
generator.
Another advantage becomes evident
in the case of applications that require
very high absolute level accuracy: The
¸SMF100A can measure its own
output power via an attached power
sensor. Manual adjustment capability
allows you to increase the instrument's
exceptional absolute level accuracy even
further.
You can operate the instrument both
via the front-panel control elements or
via a USB keyboard and USB mouse. To
permit this, the front panel of the instru-
ment provides two USB interfaces. In ad-
dition, an extra USB port is available on
the rear panel (¸SMF-B84 option,
master and slave USB).
The following question arises in many
applications: How can I transfer instru-
ment settings from one instrument to
the other quickly and without errors?
The solution is to use a memory stick.
You merely need to use Save/Recall to
quickly transfer instrument settings to a
different ¸SMF100A.
