5-8 :FETCh:PMONitor Subsystem
This subsystem contains commands to fetch the power monitor reference power level data,
zero power level data and the displayed power level data.
Displayed Data
:FETCh:PMONitor:DATA?
Title: Displayed Data
Description: Fetches the displayed power level data. The returned value is returned
in the units that have been set with the Units command
(:CALCulate:PMONitor:UNITs DBM|WATT|DB|PERCent).
If units are in dBm, then the returned value is in dBm.
If units are in percent, then the returned value is in percent.
If units are in dB, then the returned value is in dB.
If units are in watts, then the returned value is in
0.1 uW (0.1 microwatt) increments. For example:
Syntax: :FETCh:PMONitor:DATA?
Cmd Parameter: NA (query only)
Query Response: <NR3> (depends on set unit)
Example: To fetch the displayed power level data:
:FETCh:PMONitor:DATA?
