The Giga-tronics 8500A Series Peak Power Meters combine CW power measurement
with the ability to make precise peak power measurements at any point on a
pulsed waveform. This dual, built-in capability lets you make CW measurements
and analyze pulsed waveforms with a single instrument.
The meter is available in a single or dual channel configuration. A built-in
display shows measurements such as rise time, fall time and pulse width plus the
pulse profile. And you can use a reference cursor to read peak power at any
point on the pulse waveform.
Giga-tronics CW and Peak power sensors contain an EEPROM programmed with the
frequency calibration factors measured at the factory, or in your cal lab. When
you key in the frequency at which power is being measured, the meter
automatically applies the correct cal factor from the sensor EEPROM.
