NARDA 8718B - Manual (Page 12)

11 Chapter 3 Probe Selection
The readout on the 8718B is shown in terms of Percent of
Standard. The full scale of Narda’s shaped probes is typically
either 300% or 600% of a standard. This permits measurements
of exposure environments where the weighted field strengths
range from as high as three to six times the maximum
permissible exposure (MPE) level to environments where the
levels are less than one percent of the MPE.
Connecting a Probe
Connect a cable with a quick-release, eight-pin connector to the
connector at the top of your Model 8718B. This cable will be
either (1) a short adapter cable for attachment to older style
8700 series probes with integral cables or (2) a 4 ft. (1.2m) long
cable with a quick-release connector on both ends for use with
the 8700 "D" series probes. The D series probes have a
quick-release, eight-pin connector that allows the probe to
attach directly to your 8718B or be used with a cable
A direct connection can be useful for certain low frequency
measurements. See Low Frequency Measurements in the
Applications Booklet.

It is important to un-
derstand that each
shaped frequency re-
sponse probe model
is designed
to conform to a par-
ticular standard.
