Keysight N8262A – P-Series Modular Power Meter

• Slim, compact build (1 U half rack) for easy deployment
• LXI-C-compliant for seamless integration into an ATE system
• Online web browser for real-time remote operations and Graphical User Interface (GUI) that emulates the display of N1911/12 P-Series power meters
• Equivalent P-Series N1911/12A bench instrument performance

The N8262A P-Series Modular Power Meter, LXI Class C compliance instrument is an upgrade of P-Series Power Meters. It is developed using LXI Technology, an instrument standard for devices that use the Ethernet (LAN) as their primary communication interface.

When using the N8262A, a virtual user interface runs on a Windows based controller will give you manual control over the operation of the power meter. This interface is emulated from the P-Series Power Meter’s soft front panel display where Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) commands exist to access desired functionality.

The N8262A operates with three software programs: Web Browser Interface, P-Series Soft Front Panel and Synthetic Instrument Finder. It offers identical measurement performance as P-Series Power Meter. Operation of the N8262A occur by using a virtual panel hosted on PC or via the remote programming interface, the Soft Front Panel. It provides robust instrument control and works with the environment you choose.

Your P-Series Modular Power Meter is compatible with Keysight P-Series, E-Series E9300, E-Series E4410 and the 8480 Series Power Sensors. However, not all sensor and meter combinations have the same features or capabilities. The main differences are shown in the chart below.

The E-Series and 8480 Series Power Sensors require N1917A/B/C/D cables when connected to the P-Series modular power meters.
