Return values
:
The query command returns a list separated by commas (comma separated values = CSV), which
contains the power measurement results in floating-point format. The unit used for the return values
is always dBm.
The command "SENSe:MPOWer? 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
may, for instance, cause the following list to be returned:
18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9
Examples: "SENSe:MPOWer 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
performs a measurement sequence with the following settings:
Frequency = 935.2 MHz,
Resolution bandwidth = 1 MHz
Measurement time = 434 µs
Trigger source = VIDEO
Trigger threshold = 50%
Trigger offset = 5 µs
Type of measurement = MEAN power
No. of measurements = 20
"SENSe:MPOWer? 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
performs the same measurement and in addition returns the results list
immediately after completion of the last measurement.
Notes: The measurement function always uses trace 1 in the selected screen, and
activates the selected screen.
Repeated use of the command without changes to its parameters (i.e. using the
same settings again) will speed up the measurement since the previous hardware
settings will be cached and therefore additional hardware settling times will be
avoided. This also holds true if only part of the parameters (e.g. only the trigger
delay) are changed, as in this case the rest of the parameters will be cached.
This measurement is not compatible with other measurements, especially as far
as marker functions, adjacent-channel measurement or statistics are concerned.
The corresponding functions are therefore automatically switched off. In return
incompatible commands will automatically deactivate the multi burst power
function.
The function is only available in the REMOTE operation. It is deactivated on
switching back to LOCAL.
