This module contains two identical attenuators and precision rectifiers which measure the amplitude of the output voltages of the power stage. The readings are made available via a 10 V port: The output voltage at the BNC socket Amplitude equals one percent of the mean value of the amplitudes of both RF output voltages, the output voltage at the BNC socket Balance equals one percent of the difference between both amplitudes.

Additionally, two moving-coil instruments are available on the front panel of the module: The top instrument displays the amplitude of the output voltage in Volts, the bottom one shows the relative deviation of the amplitudes, i.e. half the quotient of the output voltages at the BNC sockets Balance and Amplitude.
