ML2437A/38A OM/PM PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P 8-69
SENMM (Sensor Measurement mode)
SENMO (Universal Sensor Operation Mode)
Syntax: SENMM <s>,<mode>
s: A or B
mode: DEFAULT (carrier wave)
MOD (modulated average)
CUSTOM (user configurable trigger setup mode)
Remarks: Tells the sensor the type of signal it is expecting. This helps the sensor
to take the best measurements.
When LINK is set to OFF, the Sensor Measurement mode changes as
requested.
When LINK is set to ON, Readout mode is temporarily forced to Custom
mode, and the Default and Mod Average modes are inhibited. If the
SENMM command is sent with the following modes while LINK is set
ON:
1.DEFAULT: The Sensor Measurement mode will not change. A GPIB
error will be raised.
2.MOD: The Sensor Measurement mode will not change. A GPIB error
will be raised.
3.CUSTOM: Sets the Sensor Measurement Mode to Custom. If LINK is
later set to OFF, the power meter will remain in Custom Mode.
Normally, when LINK is set ON, and later set OFF, the power meter
returns to the sensor measurement mode it was in when LINK was set
ON. However, when LINK is ON, SENMM <s>,CUSTOM will set the
Sensor Measurement Mode to Custom, and when LINK is later set to
OFF, the power meter will remain in Custom Mode.
