GPIB Operation HP436A Emulation Commands
ML2437A/38A OM/PM PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P 8-97
8-11 HP436A Emulation Commands
This section provides an alphabetical listing of the commands (mnemonics) used to program
the Model ML243xA Power Meter when in HP436A Emulation mode. The emulation mode is
set through the front panel SYSTEM > Rear Panel > GPIB > MODE menu or through the
GPIB command EMUL.
HP Emulation commands must not
have a space between the command header and the
parameter, or commas between the parameters.
The format for HP Emulation commands is:
<command header><parameter 1><parameter n>...
The end of the command text must be terminated with a line feed character (0Ah, decimal 10)
or a GPIB End of Transmission State (EOI), or both.
+ (Disable cal factor)
– (Enable cal factor)
1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 (Set sensor operating range)
9 (Auto range)
A (Wat)
Syntax: +
Syntax: -
Remarks: Range 5 is the highest power range, range 1 the lowest. (These are the
opposite to the ML243xA native mode ranges; that is, HP436 range 5
sets to ML243xA range 1, and HP436 range 4 to ML243xA range 2, etc.)
When the ML243xA is being used to emulate the HP436, the ranges are
reversed; that is, HP436 range 1 (the lowest power range) is equivalent
to the ML243xA range 5, and HP436 range 5 (the highest power range)
is equivalent to the ML243xA range 1.
Syntax: 9
Remarks: Sets the ML243xA to automatically select the correct range for the
measurement.
Syntax: A
Remarks: Set units to Watts. Turn relative mode off and do not allow relative.
