Digital color LCD display
Keysight N432A replaces the legacy Keysight 432A analog thermistor power meter. It is a single-channel average RF power meter compatible with Keysight 8478B and 478A thermistor mounts. The combination of N432A and thermistor mount is ideal for applications that require high measurement accuracy, especially in metrology and calibration laboratory environments. This enhanced thermistor power meter features a digital color LCD display and a straightforward front panel interface. Compared to the legacy knob-controlled 432A, it has a built-in calibration factor table that stores calibration factors more conveniently and accurately. The N432A complies with the LXI standard and is programmable via GPIB, USB and LAN interfaces.
