1-102 HP E4418B/E4419B Programming Guide
Quick Reference
Note This Guide details the commands available for both the
HP E4418B and the HP E4419B power meters. As the HP E4418B
is a single channel power meter only channel A can be selected.
Where instances of channel selection are detailed in this chapter
they are only relevant for the HP E4419B.
This section summarizes the SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) commands available to program the power
meter. All the commands listed also have queries unless otherwise stated
in the “Notes” column. Refer to later chapters for more details on each
command.
In different subsystems the numeric suffix of program mnemonics can
represent either a channel selection or a window selection. Refer to the
appropriate command description to verify the meaning of the numeric
suffix.
With commands that require you to specify a channel, Channel A is
represented by a 1 and Channel B by a 2. If you omit the channel number,
Channel A is assumed.
With commands that reqire you to specify a window, the upper window is
represented by a 1 and the lower window by a 2. If you omit the window
number, the upper window is assumed.
