1.2 FEATURES
Multi-mode capability Utilizes CW sensors, Peak Power sensors and Voltage probes with automatic sens-
ing and setup for each type. Measures conventional CW power and voltage,
power versus time for pulse analysis, and statistical power distributions for spread
spectrum signals.
Text and Graphics The backlit LCD display shows numerical results as well as graphical results for all
measurements. Measurements are displayed using a large, easy-to-read numerical
format, or in graph mode with a fast-updating, oscilloscope-like trace.
Dual Independent Channels Dual Independent Channels Model 4532 is equipped with two identical independent measurement channels
with the capability to display two pulse measurements, two statistical measure-
ments or two CW measurements at the same time.
Remote Programming All functions except power on/off can be controlled by a GPIB interface or via an
RS-232 serial connection. The programming language follows the SCPI model with
added non-SCPI commands for special applications.
