- I bought this E4419B Power Meter from a huge auction because I was looking for a more modern replacement for my 438A. I also picked up a E4412A Power Sensor because I wanted something that would load the cal factors but would go up to 18 GHz.
Benefits:
Backlit LCD display allowing observation of results in low light conditions.
A graphic display that allows displaying any characters or graphics, allows you to create descriptions.
Stable behavior of the last digit when displaying low power levels, a good way of averaging results.
Works with both the 8480 series of old power sensors and the new E series sensors.
High speed in automatic mode, the meter switches the measuring ranges very quickly, thanks to which you can work only in automatic mode.
Disadvantages:
Very low contrast LCD matrix, you can adjust it, but if you do not regulate it is still weak, but acceptable.
The audible and constantly working fan, even after switching off, in a quiet room can be tiring during long-term measurements.
The impact of the GSM telephone caller on the presented measurement result, on the original cable with about 0.5m on the non-original with 2m. This unfavorable feature means that you should leave the GSM telephone behind the measuring laboratory. If this is not possible and we have to be constantly on-line, the GSM telephone should be moved a few meters from the E4418B.
A new, completely different philosophy of meter operation, somewhat devious but quite logical.
Thanks - Nice summary of the difference between the 43X series and this meter.
@@tgsoapbox Thank you very much for the answer, I wonder if such correspondence with the use of Google translator is acceptable? Is it understandable enough and is my website readable understandable if there are big problems?
Thank you again for your response.
Thanks for this vedio i have agilent e4416a power meter when I press the button nothing happens the battery voltage is 2.9v
The power button?
@@tgsoapbox thanks for your reply . votages are ok 12 v,-12 v, 5v and battery 2,9 v . Stand by light is ok when I press the power button notting happened.
@@radiotvrepair1059 I haven't seen the schematics for an E4416A so this is just a complete guess - A number of more modern Agilent gear required the fan to run before the unit would become fully operational, you might want to try checking out the fan in the unit to see if it is getting power and if it actually works. If that isn't the issue then I would suggest posting to the HPAK group over on groups.io (groups.io/g/HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment) and see if anyone there has some suggestions.
@@tgsoapbox the fan is on. I hear his noise.the group does not exist.thanks
Beautiful day! My question would be like that, why does not come for me it RS232 menu? I would like to refresh it with cable like this the firmwaret. The serial does not appear in the starting test unfortunately port body. Thank you!
I think you have to turn RS-232 on in a menu - Did you do that? I've never used the serial port as I run GPIB for all my instruments.
@@tgsoapbox I do not find this menu unfortunately. You are for me does not appear. Would he be able to help me with this?
@@bisteycs It is in the System menu under Remote Interface. This is on pages 115 & 117 of the user manual. You can get the user manual from the Keysight website - Just search for E4419B on the home page and the manual will be in the documents tab.
Would it be possible for you to send me the PDF containing the schematics?
I don't think I ever got a schematic for it - Your best bet is to ask over at the HPAK Group.io forum - groups.io/g/HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment
Could you say what equipnet charged for shipping and logistics?
I actually don't remember but it wasn't that bad - I feel like it was less than $50 but I'm only guessing.
How to use back reference?
Sorry but I don't understand what you are asking. Can you explain a bit more?
@@tgsoapbox I want to ask how to use power reference at rear. How to connect or where to connect?
@@teknoy5417 It's used the same way as if it was on the front - Those devices with the ports on the rear were typically used in automated test rigs where they were cabled up to the DUT - Just follow the same instruction in the manual as though they were on the front.
Так разъёмы не соединяются.
The connectors work on the unit but it has just started to fail to turn on so I think maybe the tag was actually correct and I just got lucky for several years.
Well don't you have good luck! best you start buying some lottery tickets! Cheers! 73's ve3aam
Well, it turns out that the power supply isn't working now so maybe I just needed to wait till reality caught up with the trouble ticket...
@@tgsoapbox well that's to bad, but I'm sure you can fix it. manuals are on line, surely you have them/it.
@@dalesmith8666 Thanks, I have the single-channel version of the meter that works so I have a good power supply (assuming that is in fact the problem) to compare to.
