HP CaLan 2010B SLM Plus

[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Key Literature ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ][ Related ]
The HP CaLan 2010B SLM Plus is an advanced, easy-to-use amplitude level meter for system maintenance and performance testing. It covers the entire 5 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range with exceptional speed -- 60 channels of visual and aural carriers in less than two seconds.

The HP CaLan 2010B is also a data management system. It has an RS-232 serial computer interface and supports both serial and parallel printers. The automatic testing capability provides you with pass/fail reports and analysis. The SLM Plus features unattended 24-hour testing and optional compliance reporting. It is portable, rugged, and economically priced. An optional fiber optic power meter lets you measure coax and fiber with a single instrument.
