–

RF-ON MODE

1.

Place the unit in RF ON mode. In this mode the TWT will be turned ON.

2.

The display will show the Helix and Collector currents as per TWT operating data sheet

(enclosed in the manual).

3.

Grid voltage will be displayed only with TWTs having Grid element.

4.

Some TWTs have a single Collector element, therefore only COLL1V will be display.
