fine tuning can be performed by setting the filter length to 1024 and the 
trigger delay off.
1 ABOR2
2 CONF1 -50,DEF,(@2)
3 SENS2:AVER:COUN 1024
4 TRIG2:DEL:AUTO OFF
5 READ1?
Using INITiate and FETCh?
Some fine tuning of measurements can be carried out using the 
CONFigure command and INITiate and FETCh? commands. For example, 
in the above program segment some fine tuning can be carried out by 
ABOR2 Aborts Channel B
CONF1 -50,DEF,(@2) Configures the upper window to make a 
Channel B measurement using an expected 
power of –50 dBm and the current resolution 
setting
READ1? Takes the upper window’s measurement
ABOR2 Aborts Channel B
CONF1 -50,DEF,(@2) Configures the upper window to make a 
Channel B measurement using an expected 
power of –50 dBm and the current resolution 
setting
INIT2 Causes Channel B to make a measurement
FETC1? -50,DEF,(@2) Retrieves the upper window’s measurement
