– Key Features
• Meter tracking verification on all ranges
• Auto-zero circuit testing via integrated polarity switch
• Non-HP-IB interface
• Option H01 modification enables external programmable DC reference source operation for EPM-E and EPM-P series meters
• Option H01 allows remote programming when REF SELECT switch is in EXT position; disconnects internal DC source and connects external source to sampling gate assembly
– Compatibility & Integration
The 11683A interfaces with EPM Series, EPM-P Series, E1416A, 70100A, 435B, 436A, 437B, and 438A power meters. Option H01 modification is required for Agilent EPM E and P Series power meter service routines and enables flexible calibration workflows with external programmable DC references.
