16-9 :READ Subsystem NBFM Commands
16-24 PN: 10580-00319 Rev. N S412E PM
16-9 :READ Subsystem
This set of commands combines the ABORt, INITiate and FETCh commands. It aborts any
current triggering sequence and sets the trigger state to idle. It then initiates a new active
measurement (i.e., begins the collection of new data). When the measurement is complete,
it returns the result. These commands will not switch to another measurement.
To prepare for a new measurement, use the CONFigure command. To get the current
measurement data, use the FETCh command.
:READ:COVerage?
Description: Triggers a new NBFM Coverage measurement and returns the
numerical results. It is a combination of the commands :ABORT,
:INITiate, and :FETCh:COVerage? NBFM Coverage must be the
active measurement (specified by :CONFigure:COVerage). The
current measurement can be queried using :CONFigure?
Data is returned as 7 comma-separated values in the following order
and format:
RSSI (dBm as float)
THD (% as float)
SINAD (dB as float)
ExtSINAD (dB as float)
Latitude (radian as float)
Longitude (radian as float)
UTC Date (month/day/year as char)
UTC Time (hour:minute:second as char)
If there is no valid measurement data, the instrument will return
“--,--,--,--,--,--,--,--”.
