Power sensor compatibility
The P-Series power meters are compatible with all current (N)8480, E-Series and
P-Series power sensors. Refer to the Accessories section, P-Series meter cable adaptors
N1917A/B and C.
Connector options for P-Series power meters
The following options are available on the P-Series power meters.

Table 1. Connector options for P-Series power meters.
Option Description
N1911A-003 Rear panel sensor and power reference connectors (single channel)
N1912A-003 Rear panel sensor and power reference connectors (dual channel)
Video output option (H01)
The video output provides a DC voltage proportional to the measured input power through a
BNC connector on the rear panel. The DC voltage can be displayed on an oscilloscope for time
measurement. This option replaces the recorder output on the rear panel. The video output
impedance is 50 Ω.
– Video rise time: 13 ns
– Frequency range: 50 MHz to 40 GHz

1. The P-Series power meters are configured for either front panel connectors (both sensor and power
reference) or rear panel connectors. There are no options for parallel front and rear panel sensor inputs.
2. Need to turn off the auto-zero feature; otherwise, this will appear as a glitch in the video output signal.
