2.3.4.1.3 Analog Status Circuits

Helix Current (Pin D).
The TWT helix current may be determined by monitoring the voltage in Pin D.
There is 2 mA of current for each volt measured.

High Voltage Monitor (Pin L).
The high voltage level may be determined by monitoring the voltage in Pin L.
This output is proportional to the high voltage (1V/1000 VDC).

Analog Signal Return (Pin N).
Common return.

TWT Temperature (Pin P).
The TWT’s collector temperature may be determined by monitoring the voltage
on Pin P and referring to the chart in Figure Chapter 2-5.
