Size The 2U rack height ensures the 3410 series occupies minimal spacein a manufacturing rack or on the engineer's bench, allowing the pro- vision of more compact industrial test systems. The full rack width ensures easy stacking of instruments while the light weight allows for easy carrying in the laboratory or the field.

Resolution 0.01 dB RF Level Units

SPECIFICATIONS

Units can be set to µV, mV, V EMF or PD; dB relative 1 µV, 1 mV, 1 V EMF or PD; or dBm. Conversion between dB and linear devices may be achieved by pressing the appropriate units key (dB or V, mV or µV).

RF OUTPUT

The RF output is controlled by an ALC system in normal operation.When IQ modulation is enabled alternative control modes are available to optimize the performance of the signal generation. RangeElectronic Attenuator
