Measurement Operations & Settings Measurement Functions – The SENSe Subsystem
96 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
example: sens1:func:par:minm? → WIND,+10<END>
affects: All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
Setting parameters for the stability function sets some parameters,
including hidden parameters, for the logging and MinMax functions and
vice versa. You must use the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility command to set
parameters before you start a stability function using the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe command.
NOTE
command:
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility<wsp>
<total time>[NS|US|MS|S],<period time>[NS|US|MS|S],<averaging time>[NS|US|MS|S]
description: Sets the total time, period time, and averaging time for the stability data acquisition function.
parameters: Total time:
Period time:
Averaging time:
The total time from the start of stability mode until it is completed.
A new measurement is started after the completion of every period time.
A measurement is averaged over the averaging time.
NOTE
The total time should be longer than the period time.
The period time should be longer than the averaging time.
The number of data points is equal to the total time divided by the period time.
Total time, period time, and averaging time are time values in seconds.
If you specify no units in your command, seconds are used as the default.
NOTE See “:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe” on page 100 for information on starting/stop-
ping a data acquisition function.
NOTE See “:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?” on page 97 for information on accessing the
results of a data acquisition function.
NOTE See “Triggering and Power Measurements” on page 171 for information on how triggering af-
fects data acquisition functions.
response: none
example: sens1:func:par:stab 1s,0.1s,0.1s
affects: All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
