Start data acquisition function
When you enable a logging data acquisition function for a 8163A/B Series Power Meter with averaging time of less than
100 ms with input hard ware triggering disabled, all GPIB commands will be ignored for the duration of the function.
See :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing on page 97 for more information on the
logging data acquisition function.
Stop any function before you try to set up a new function. Some parameters cannot be set until you stop the function.
response: none
example: sens1:func:stat logg,star
affects: All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
command: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe?
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe?
description: Returns the function mode and the status of the data acquisition function.
parameters: none
response: NONE

No function mode selected
Logging or stability data acquisition function
MinMax data acquisition function
Data acquisition function is in progress
Data acquisition function is complete
example: sens1:func:stat? -> LOGGING_STABILITY,COMPLETE<END>
affects: All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
