Notes:
1. Includes uncertainty of reference standard and transfer uncertainty. Directly traceable to NIST.
2. Square root of sum of the individual uncertainties squared (RSS).
3. Cal Factor numbers allow for 3% repeatability when connecting attenuator to sensor, and 3% for attenuator
measurement uncertainty and mismatch of sensor/pad combination. Attenuator frequency response is added to
the Sensor Cal Factors which are stored in the sensor’s EEPROM.
1.2.2 Compatible Power Meters
8541X Single Channel Universal Power Meter
8542X Dual Channel Universal Power Meter
8651A Single Channel Universal Power Meter
8652A Dual Channel Universal Power Meter
58542 Dual Channel VXI Universal Power Meter
NOTE: If the Series 8035XA sensors will be used with a Model 8542 (dual channel) Power
Meter, the 8542 must be configured to code 06 or higher, or an asterisk (*) must be appended
to the code number. The code number is printed next to the serial number on the label
located on the rear panel of the 8542.
