External Output options (Fig. 4.1)
The Peak Power sensor’s Trigger/Video Out can be set as either a negative video output,
showing the modulating signal of the RF signal (up to the model’s video bandwidth), or as a
TTL trigger with falling edge corresponding to the start of a pulse.

Filter selection (Not supported by PWR-8P-RC)
The Peak & Average power sensors have several different modulation bandwidth filters,
selectable by user. To reduce measurement noise it is recommended to select the narrowest
filter that will fit your signal BW.
Available bandwidths are: CW, 1.5 MHz, 5 MHz and OFF (max pulse profiling BW).

Pulse Profile Analysis
Select the "Pulse Profile" check box on the main GUI screen to open the pulse profile analysis
screens. Three new windows will appear:
•
Full pulse profile display - Captures the full sample period of the sensor
•
"Zoom on pulse" display - Allows any portion of the signal to be focused on / expanded
in a second graphical display
•
Calculated parameters display - Summary of the measured and calculated parameters
of the signal captured in the “zoom on pulse” display
.
