GPIB Operation HP436A Emulation Commands
ML2437A/38A OM/PM PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P 8-99
H (Hold mod)
I (Trigger without settling)
OI (Identification)
R (Free run mod)
T (Trigger with settling)
V (Free run mode with settling)
Syntax: H
Remarks: Sets both channels to trigger hold mode. The power meter does not
trigger until it receives an I or T command. If it receives an R or V
command, it reverts back to the trigger mode it was in before the H
command was sent.
Syntax: I
Remarks: Triggers a single reading which is added to the internal digital filter and
the updated filter power level is returned on the GPIB. After an I
command, the instrument returns to standby mode (H).
Syntax: OI
Remarks: Ask for identification of current operating mode. Responds with
“HP436.”
Syntax: R
Remarks: Sets the ML243xA back into free run mode to continuously take
measurements and output data.
Syntax: T
Remarks: Triggers a new series of readings; enough to update the internal digital
filter for a noise free reading at the current power level. The value is
then returned on the GPIB and returns to standby mode (H).
Syntax: V
Remarks: Sets the ML243xA back into free run mode to continuously take
measurements and output data after running a settling routine.
