How to Measure Power Power Measurement
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition 107
Dual Power Meters - Master and Slave
Channels
For the Agilent 81635A Dual Power Sensor and the Agilent 81619A Dual
Optical Head Interface module, channel 1 is the master channel and
channel 2 is the slave channel. The master and slave channels share the
same software and hardware triggering system. For some commands,
setting parameters for the master channel sets the parameters for the
slave channel. In these cases, you may only set parameters for the slave
channel by setting master channel parameters.
The parameters listed in Table 10 can only be set or viewed using the
master channel.
