Measurement Functions – The SENSe Subsystem Measurement Operations & Settings
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition 111
command:
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:RETurnloss:CORRection:FPDelta[l]
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:RETurnloss:CORRection:FPDelta[l]<wsp><value>[dB]
description: Sets the front panel delta, that is, the loss correction value, for example, due to the front pan-
el connector. Twice this value is added to the measured Return Loss.
NOTE Use [l] to set the front panel delta for an external source or the upper or lower wavelength la-
ser source of a dual return loss module.
An external laser source is denoted by 0. 0 is the default value of [l].
A lower wavelength source is denoted by 1.
An upper wavelength source is denoted by 2.
parameters: Sets the front panel delta as a float value in dB
response: none
example sens1:ret:cal:corr:fpd 0.08DB
affects: All return loss modules
command:
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:RETurnloss:CORRection:FPDelta[l]?
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:RETurnloss:CORRection:FPDelta[l]?
description: Returns the front panel delta, that is, the loss correction value, for example, due to the front
panel connector. Twice this value is added to the measured Return Loss.
NOTE Use [l] to query the front panel delta for an external source or the upper or lower wavelength
laser source of a dual return loss module.
An external laser source is denoted by 0. 0 is the default value.
A lower wavelength source is denoted by 1.
An upper wavelength source is denoted by 2.
parameters: Returns the front panel delta as a float value in dB
response: none
example sens1:ret:cal:corr:fpd? → +8.00000000E-002<END>
affects: All return loss modules
