Note
Percent of Standard is the only unit of measure available for shaped frequency response probes. Shaped probes have frequency response curves designed to mimic a particular exposure standard. See Chapter 3, Shaped Frequency Response Probes.
The 8718B Meter allows you to quickly select any unit of measure that is appropriate for the probe in use. The available units of measure depend on whether the probe is designed to measure the electric field or the magnetic field. It also depends on whether the probe has a “flat” frequency response or a “shaped” frequency response. The available units of measure for the various types of probes are:
Field | Frequency | Units of Measure | |

Electric | Flat | mW/cm2, W/m2, V/m, | |
