Measurement Operations & Settings 4
command: :FETCh[n][:CHANnel[m]][:SCAlar]:MONitor?
syntax: :FETCh[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:SCAlar]:MONitor?
description: Reads current power value at a return loss module’s monitor diode (forward path). It does not provide its own triggering and
so must be used with either continuous software triggering (see :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:CONTinuous? on
page 91) or a directly preceding immediate software trigger (see :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:IMMediate] on
page 89).
It returns the monitor value the previous software trigger measured. Any subsequent FETCh command will return the same
value, if there is no subsequent software trigger.
parameters: none
response: The current value as a float value in W or dBm.
example: fetc1:mon? -> +6.73370400E-00<END>
affects: All return loss modules
command: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:IMMediate]
syntax: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:IMMediate]
description: Initiates the software trigger system and completes one full trigger cycle, that is, one measurement is made.
parameters: none
response: none
example: init
affects: All power meters, return loss modules.
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
command: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:CONTinuous
syntax: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:CONTinuous<wsp><boolean>
description: Sets the software trigger system to continuous measurement mode.
parameters: A boolean value: 0 or OFF: do not measure continuously
1 or ON: measure continuously
response: none
