1.

Helix Current.
The TWT helix current may be determined by monitoring this voltage. There is
2 mA of helix current for each volt measured.

2.

High Voltage Monitor.
The high voltage applied to the TWT may be determined by monitoring this
voltage. The high voltage is divided down so that one volt output equals 1,000V.

3.

TWT Temperature.
The TWT’s collector temperature may be determined by monitoring this voltage.
