Agilent N1913/1914A EPM Series Power Meters User’s Guide

LXI Class-C Compliant Power Meter

The N1913/1914A EPM Series power meter is a 

LXI 

Class C

 compliant instrument, developed using LXI 

Technology. LXI, an acronym for LAN eXtension for 

Instrumentation, is an instrument standard for devices 

that use the Ethernet (LAN) as their primary 

communication interface. 

Hence, it is an easy- to- use instrument especially with the usage of an 
integrated Web browser that provides a convenient way to configure the 
instrument’s functionality.

Rack Mounting

The N1913/1914A can be mounted in a standard 19- inch rack. Rack 
mount kits are available as listed below. Support rails are also required 
for rack mounting. These are normally supplied with the rack and are not 
included with the rack mount options.

If you are installing an instrument on top of the N1913/1914A, ensure 
that the instrument does not obstruct the ventilation holes at the top of 
the N1913/1914A. If required, use a filler panel above the N1913/1914A to 
ensure adequate space for air circulation.
