TRACe Subsystem 13
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 621
TRACe[1]|2:MEASurement:PULSe[1]|...|10:DCYCle?
This command returns the duty cycle of the selected pulse in percentage.
Algorithm
Duty Cycle = (pulse duration / pulse period) * 100
where,
pulse duration is the time difference between positive and negative transitions of
one pulse and pulse period is the time difference between two consecutive
transition occurrences of the same polarity.

Error Messages
– The command is only applicable when N192x or E932x Sensors are present,
otherwise Error –241, "Hardware Missing" is generated.
– If free run acquisition is selected or sensor average mode selected, Error –221

TRAC2:MEAS:PULS3:DCYC? This command returns the duty cycle of the
3rd pulse found on trace 2.
If you attempt to measure a pulse out of the range of the capture, for example,
measure the 5th pulse and there are only 4 pulses displayed, the power meter
returns #0##9.91E37 as the result.
