4 Measurement Operations & Settings
command: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
description: Returns the range setting for the module. For a return loss module, returns the power range of the return loss diode.
parameters: none
response: The range setting as a float value in dBm
(-110 ≤ value ≤ +30).
example: sens1:pow:rang?
-> -2.00000000E+001<END>
affects: All power meters and return loss modules.
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
command: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]
description: Sets the power range for a retun loss module’s monitor diode.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measurements (measurements in Watts) is
given below:

parameters: The range as a float value in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest multiple of 10, because the range changes at
10 dBm intervals. Units are in dBm.
response: none
example: sens1:pow:rang:mon -20DBM
affects: All return loss modules.
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
