Recorder Outputs

The rear panel Recorder Output connectors (A and B) produce a DC voltage
that corresponds to the power level in Watts of the channel, depending on the
measurement mode. This DC voltage ranges from 0 to +1 Vdc. The output
impedance is typically 1 kΩ . Channel and display offsets and duty cycle have
no effect on the Recorder Outputs.
For example, the Recorder Outputs can be used to;
• record swept measurements on an X-Y recorder
• level an output from a source using external leveling or
• monitor the output power on a strip chart recorder. A setup for recording
