It simplifies test setups by enabling synchronized frequency and power measurements from a single device. The unit features an LCD display allowing convenient readings directly off the measurement head, while our user-friendly GUI software enables easy remote test management via USB or Ethernet. Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API and programming instructions for both Windows and Linux environments (32-bit and 64-bit systems). The latest version of the full software package can be downloaded from https://www.minicircuits.com/softwaredownload/fcpm.html at any time. Key Features Feature Advantages USB & Ethernet control USB HID and Ethernet (HTTP / Telnet) interfaces provide easy compatibility with a wide range of software setups and programming environments ‘Measurement Application’ GUI software built-in Automated measurement setups which allow the user to perform measurements on RF components such as Couplers, Filters, Amplifiers, etc., display numerical data and graphs, and analyze the data. LCD character display LCD character display providing the frequency and power readings, as well as information on the unit’s status. Operates with external or internal reference The FCPM-6000RC can operate either synchronized with an external 10 MHz reference signal or independently, using its internal reference depending on user preference. No calibration required before taking measurement The FCPM-6000RC does not require any reference signal for calibration, reducing test time and simplifying operation. 5V power supply Powered via USB plug from PC, AC adapter or from commercially available Power Over Ethernet (PoE) splitter with 5V output.

Performance is guaranteed up to +20 dBm. 3 The FCPM-6000RC can operate down to -32 dBm, however performance is guaranteed only in the range specified in the table. 4 Minimum power for Frequency measurement at 190-240 MHz may degrade by up to 3 dB due to measurement band switching. 5 When using Faster mode at high frequencies below -20dBm, use of averaging is recommended to prevent noise errors. 6 When using Faster mode power reading below -20dBm, uncertainty value may increase by up to 0.2 dB relative to Low noise mode power reading. 7 Accuracy shown using external 10 MHz reference synchronized to test signal. Using Internal Reference adds 2 ppm of tested frequency to the accuracy values shown. 8 Software function set by user, default option 1000 mec. 2 Maximum Mini-Circuits ® www.minicircuits.com P.O.
