Error Messages
– INITiate:CONTinuous must be set to OFF, otherwise error –213, “INIT ignored”
occurs.
–If TRIGger:SOURce is set to BUS or HOLD, error –214, “Trigger deadlock” occurs.
– If the expected value and resolution parameters are not the same as the
current expected value and resolution settings on the specified window, error
–221, “Settings conflict” occurs.
Item Description/Default Range of Values
expected_value
(for the expected power level)
The expected power level parameter can be set to DEF or a
numeric value. If a value is entered it should correspond to
that set by CONFigure otherwise an error occurs.
Sensor dependent
DEF
[a]
resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If it is unspecified the
current resolution setting is used. If a value is entered it
should correspond to the current resolution setting
otherwise an error occurs.
1 to 4
[b]
1.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001
DEF
[a]
source list The channel which the command is implemented on.
If unspecified the current window setup is used. However, if
the window shows a ratio or difference measurement, the
upper window defaults to Channel A and the lower window
to Channel B.
(@1)
(@2)
[a] The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the command sub-systems. The parameters must
be entered in the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder.
Specifying DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.
[b] When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of significant digits. When the measurement result is
logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively.
READ2:POW:AC? This command queries the lower window/
upper measurement.
