Step

Procedure

2

Set the RF Range Switch to the 500 Watt position.

3

Connect the RF Source to the Model 44L1/L1P FWD input

connector, located on the left side of the instrument nearest the 

mode switch.

4

Connect the RF Load to the Model 44L1/L1P FWD output

connector, located on the right side of the instrument nearest the  

range switch.

Forward Power Measurement

5.03

 

The following procedure will assist the user in making an incident 

or forward power measurement. Refer to Figure 2-1.

Step

Procedure

1

Set the Mode Switch to the FWD position.

2

Apply RF power to the transmission line.

3

Move the RF Range Switch to a lower range if necessary to

obtain a reading in the upper third of the scale.

4

Note the meter reading.

Reflected Power Measurement

5.04

  The following procedure will assist the user in making a reflected 

or reverse power measurement.

Step

Procedure

1

Set the Mode Switch to the REV position.

2

Repeat Step 2 of 5.03.

3

Repeat Step 3 of 5.03.
