Electrical Specifications (CW) 1, -30 dBm to +20 dBm, 1 to 8000 MHz

Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. Operating in the range between operating

power limits and absolute maximum ratings for extended periods of time may result in reduced life and reliability.

Hardware

Pentium® II or higher, RAM 256 Mb, USB port

Control cable (supplied)

Power sensor to be used with the supplied control cable only

Minimum System Requirements

1 All specifications apply to continuous wave (CW) signals.

2 Maximum continuous safe operational power limit: +23 dBm. Performance is

guaranteed up to +20 dBm.

3 When using Faster mode at high frequencies below -20dBm, use of

averaging is recommended to prevent noise errors.

4 When using Faster mode below -20dBm, accuracy value may increase by up

to 0.2 dB relative to Low noise mode
