Introduction
About the Model 8718B
Your Model 8718B is a hand-held, battery-powered
meter designed to simplify the measurement of
electromagnetic fields. It can be used with any
Narda 8700 Series probe. The 8718B is an
upgraded version of the original Model 8718.
Although there are many enhancements, the
8718B is most easily distinguished from its
predecessor by the quick-release style probe
connector.
The meter enables you to perform both simple
measurements and more demanding ones that
require averaging and/or data logging. It can be
mounted on a tripod and used with an optional
fiber optic link for enhanced accuracy in certain
applications.
