# Name
Description
1
Device Temp.
Displays the power sensor’s internal temperature. The PWR smart power
sensors compensate automatically for any temperature variation in the 0-
50°C (32-122°F) range.
Click on the drop box to select Celsius or Fahrenheit display format.
2
Freq.
Displays the power sensor’s specified frequency range and allows the user to
enter the expected input frequency. For best performance, enter the
approximate signal frequency you wish to test.
3
Measured
Power display
Displays the Average power measured over the sample period and below
that the peak power.
If sample period is not suitable for the signal or zoom track does not lock on
pulse power the display will not be correct.
Note:
Peak power values are displayed for peak power sensors only.
4
Connection
status
Displays the status of connection to the power sensor: “Reading” – good
connection, “Searching” - attempting to reestablish connection, “Not
connected” – Power sensor not found.
5
Meas. Speed
Check the mode in which you wish to operate:
“Low Noise” – 100ms typ, “Faster” – 30 ms typ, or “Fastest” – 10ms typ
(available on PWR-8FS only).
Note:
Not available for peak power sensor models, see
section 3.3
6
Add Sensor
Click to work with more than one sensor from the same computer. For more
details, see
section 3.11
, “Multi-Sensor Setups”.
