MEASurement Commands 2
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 133
Parameters
Refer to “Optional Parameters” on page 90 for additional details on the
parameters in this command.
1
The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the
command sub-systems. The parameters must be entered in the specified order. If parameters are
omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder. Specifying
DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.
2
When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of significant
digits. When the measurement result is logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001
respectively.
Item Description/Default Range of Values
expected_value
(for the expected
power level)
The expected power level parameter can be
set to DEF or a numeric value. If a value is
entered it should correspond to that set by
CONFigure otherwise an error occurs.
sensor dependent
DEF
1
resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If it is
unspecified the current resolution setting is
used. If a value is entered it should
correspond to the current resolution setting
otherwise an error occurs.
1 to 4
2
1.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001
DEF
1
source list The channel which the command is
implemented on.
If unspecified the current window setup is
used. However, on the N1912A, if the window
shows a ratio or difference measurement, the
upper window defaults to Channel A and the
lower window to Channel B.
