SENSe Subsystem 10
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 365
[SENSe] Subsystem
The SENSe command subsystem directly affects device specific settings used to
make measurements. The SENSe subsystem is optional since this is the primary
function of the power meter. The high level command CONFigure uses the SENSe
commands to prepare the p ower meter for making measurements. At a lower
level SENSe enables you to change the following parameters: RANGe, FREQuency,
LOSS, CFACator|GAIN1 (calibration factor), GAIN2 (channel offset), DCYCle (duty
cycle) and AVERage, without completely re-configuring the power meter.
The SENSe command subsystem also allows you to select the measurement
speed, a sensor calibration table, and a frequency dependent offset table.
The numeric suffix of the SENSe program mnemonic in the SENSe commands refers
to a channel, that is SENSe1 and SENSe2 represent Channel A and Channel B
respectively.
NOTE
If you are using the single channel N1911A power meter the SENSe2 commands
are irrelevant and cause the error “Header suffix out of range.”
