Direct reading peak power meter, measures power on a single pulse, repeating pulses, or CW.   Three trigger modes (Internal, External, and Free Run) plus an adjustable measurement gate, which can be placed at the desired point by use of trigger delay circuitry.

Measures and digitizes its readings in only 1 ms and readings can be made at rates up to 500/s.  Single pulses down to 200ns can be sampled and displayed in either dBm, mW, or on the 1018B's three digit readout.  Three fixed "Coupler -dB" ranges can be used with external couplers or attenuators to extend the measurement range for high power applications.
