Power meter troubleshooting
The 11683A may be used as a test signal source which is capable of a full scale meter reading in
any range. The POLARITY switch increases the ease of Auto-Zero circuit troubleshooting, and the
11683A may be substituted for the Power Sensor in order to isolate a malfunction to the Power
Meter/Power Sensor Cable or the Power Sensor. Troubleshooting information is found in the
Power Meter Operating and Service Manual.
