MEASurement Commands 2
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 149
Parameters
Refer to “Optional Parameters” on page 112 for additional details on the
parameters in this command.
[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.
Item Description/Default Range of Values
expected_value

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.

resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If it is unspecified the

If unspecified the current window setup is used. However, on
the N1912A, if the window shows a ratio or difference
measurement, the upper window defaults to Channel A and
the lower window to Channel B.
