Step 3: Configure the Measurement Execution Parameters
Configuring Measurement Timeout Parameters
Measurement Timeout State Parameter
The Measurement Timeout State parameter is used to enable or disable measurement timeout functionality.
Example 17. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TIMeout:STATe <ON|1|OFF|0>
Example 18. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:PVT:TIM:STAT ON"
would enable measurement timeouts for the power versus time measurement.
Measurement Timeout Time Parameter
The Measurement Timeout Time parameter sets the maximum time that a measurement will execute before
failing with a timeout error (when the TIMEout:STATe parameter is set to ON).
Example 19. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TIMeout:TIME <numeric value>[<suffix>]
Example 20. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:TIM:TIME 10 S"
would set the measurement timeout time to 10 seconds for the transmit power measurement.
Configuring Measurement Timeout State and Timeout Time Simultaneously
The measurement timeout state can be set to ON and the measurement timeout time can be set to some value
using a single complex command.
Example 21. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TIMeout[:STIMe] <numeric value>[<suffix>]
Example 22. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:TIM:STIM 10"
would set the measurement timeout state to ON and set the measurement timeout time to 10 seconds for the
transmit power measurement. Note that in this example the optional command mnemonic :STIMe has been
included for purposes of clarity.
