Chapter 3, Operating Overview
Increasing Measurement Throughput
Reducing delays caused by unused measurements
When a measurement cycle is triggered, the Test Set will attempt to obtain a value
for all active measurements. For instance, in CDMA mode (invoked when any
CDMA screen is selected) the power measurement that is currently selected
(Average Power or Channel Power) is active by default. However, let’s assume
you are currently measuring rho and do not need the power measurement. You
can greatly speed up the rho measurement by turning off the power measurement.
Turning off Average Power and Channel Power measurements
The following example turns off both Average and Channel power using a
compound HP-IB statement:
OUTPUT 714:”MEAS:CDM:AVGP:STATE OFF;:MEAS:CDM:CHAN:STAT OFF”
Conversely, lets assume you are making a power measurement and do not need
rho or any of the rho suite of measurements.
Turning off the Rho suite of measurements
The following example turns off all rho measurements:
OUTPUT 714:”MEAS:CDM:RHO:STATE OFF”
