Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Boonton has always made some very nice equipment, I own a Boonton peak power meter that also reads CW power, down to about -70dBm and up to +10dBm, with provision for external 30dB pad via

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello,
Absolutely - just how to do this on the 82357B? Hopefully very simple, but seems not to be available on the interactive IO. Any hints would be very much appreciated!
Regards,

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Just get the controller to "un-talk/un-listen" the 436, or use the GPIB
low level "Go To Local" function.? It'll then un-freeze it's display.

Hello,
I can't argue against, but my only experience is that I _can_ set the instrument in the state I want (REN active) and can read the output data when I deactivate REN, but not otherwise. I have

Re: Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters

Re: Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Thermocouple power sensors can be referenced to the DC volt, and
as such give you a connection between AC power and the standardized
DC volt.
You can't do that reliably with the diode type

Re: 50 ohm thermocouples was RE: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
A bolometer is not a thermocouple sensor. What it is is a
small lightbulb filament in a vacuum that is exposed to the
RF power. When the filament starts to heat up, its electrical
resistance starts

Re: Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
You mean apart from the fact that they are the only truly accurate RMS RF sensors, and that all calibration is referred back to this type of sensor?

Re: 50 ohm thermocouples was RE: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Do you know the thermocouple type? And the resistor power rating?
I’m just wondering if it might be possible to solder a micro thermocouple to a extra small surface mount resistor.

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
REN should not be deactivated to take a reading. 436 must stay in Remote. I have sent you a 436A Operating and Service Manual. Read Section 3.

Re: 50 ohm thermocouples was RE: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Issue with homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Hi
What are frequently called RF thermocouples are in fact three or four terminal devices with a heating element (50 Ohm or 75 Ohm resistance) with an embedded thermocouple.

Are these thermocouples or thermistors?
These are different.
