LXI Class-C-Compliant Power Meter
A P-Series power meter is a LXI
Class-C-compliant instrument,
developed using LXI Technology. LXI,
an acronym for LAN eXtension for
Instrumentation, is an instrument
standard for devices that use the
Ethernet (LAN) as their primary com-
munication interface.
Hence, it is an easy-to-use instru-
ment especially with the usage of an
integrated Web browser that provides
a convenient way to configure the
instrument’s functionality.
Specification definitions
There are two types of product
specifications:
• Warrantedspecifications are
specifications which are covered
by the product warranty and apply
over a range of 0 to 55 ºC unless
otherwise noted. Warranted speci-
fications include measurement
uncertainty calculated with a 95 %
confidence.
• Characteristicspecifications
are specifications that are not
warranted. They describe product
performance that is useful in the
application of the product. These
characteristic specifications are
shown in italics.
Characteristic information is
representative of the product. In
many cases, it may also be supple-
mental to a warranted specification.
Characteristic specifications are not
verified on all units. There are several
types of characteristic specifications.
They can be divided into two groups:
One group of characteristic types
describes ‘attributes’ common to all
products of a given model or option.
Examples of characteristics that
describe ‘attributes’ are the product
weight and ‘50-ohm input Type-N
connector’. In these examples,
product weight is an ‘approximate’
value and a 50-ohm input is ‘nominal’.
These two terms are most widely
used when describing a product’s
‘attributes’.
Conditions
The power meter and sensor will
meet its specifications when:
• stored for a minimum of two hours
at a stable temperature within the
operating temperature range, and
turned on for at least 30 minutes
• the power meter and sensor are
within their recommended calibra-
tion period, and
• used in accordance to the informa-
tion provided in the User’s Guide.

Measurements Average, peak and peak-to-average ratio power measurements are provided with free-run or time-gated
definitions.
Time parameter measurements of pulse rise time, fall time, pulse width, time-to-positive occurrence and
time-to-negative occurrence are also provided.
Sensor compatibility P-Series power meters are compatible with all Agilent P-Series wideband power sensors, E-Series sensors,
8480 Series sensors and N8480 Series sensors
1
. Compatibility with the 8480 and E-Series power sensors will
be available free-of-charge in firmware release Ax.03.01 and above. Compatibility with N8480 Series power
sensors will be available free-of-charge in firmware release A.05.00 and above.
1. Information contained in this document refers to operations using P-Series sensors. For specifications relating to the use of 8480 and E-Series sensors
(except E9320A range), refer to publication number 5965-6382EN. For specification relating to the use of E932XA sensors, refer to publication
number 5980-1469EN. For specifications relating to the use of N8480 Series sensors, refer to publication number 5989-9333EN. The E-Series, 8480
Series and N8480 Series power sensors require N1917A/ B/ C cables when connected to the P-Series power meters.
