Introduction

Product Overview

The N8262A P-Series Modular Power Meter, LXI Class C compliance instrument is
an upgrade of P-Series Power Meter. It is 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 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.
N8262A operates with three software: 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: Soft Front
Panel. It provides robust instrument control and works with the environment you
choose.
