Overview
The Boonton 52012 RF Power Sensor 10 MHz - 12.4 GHz is a complete RF power measurement instrument. The sensor contains a cpu that operates the interface and processes the measurement results. All the measurement data and settings can be transmitted via a usb interface to and from a PC. This implementation allows the PC to be the user interface in classic microwave and RF power measurement.
The 52012 Power Meter allows for cost effective, high precision power measurements and is ideal for production and service environments. Multiple sensors can be connected to a single PC saving rack space and reducing cost when compared to conventional RF and microwave power meters. This instrument is lightweight and portable measuring only 1.3 x 1.7 x 4.9 inches (34 x 43 x 125 mm) and can be easily operated from a laptop computer. The 52012 Power Meter is controlled using software loaded on a PC that includes a powerful but easy to use soft front panel interface. This software and software toolkit is supplied with every 52012 Series Power Meter. It includes a DLL (dynamic link library) that runs the user interface on a Windows XP operating system.
