Example 3 - Specifying the Expected Power Parameter
The previous example details the three optional parameters which can be used
with the CONFigure and READ? commands. The first optional parameter is
used to enter an expected power value. The value entered determines which of
the power sensor’s two ranges is used for the measurement. If the current
setting of the power sensor’s range is no longer valid for the new
measurement, specifying the expected power value decreases the time taken
to obtain a result.
The following example uses the expected value parameter to specify a value of
–50 dBm. This selects the power sensor’s lower range (refer to “Range” on
page 26 for details of the range breaks). The resolution parameter is defaulted,
leaving it at its current setting.
ABOR1 Aborts measurement
CONF1 DEF,DEF,(@1) Configures the current window to make a
measurement using the current expected
power and resolution settings
READ1? Takes the current window’s measurement
ABOR1 Aborts measurement
CONF1 DEF,DEF,(@1) Configures the current window to make a
measurement using the current expected
power and resolution settings
INIT1 Causes a measurement
FETC1? DEF,DEF,(@1) Retrieves the current window’s
measurement
