8 Frequency Scan Measurement
AMPTD Y Scale
PSA had multiple preselectors, but the X-Series has only one. These commands simply alias to
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:PADJust
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
Modified at S/W Revision A.03.00
Remote Command
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:PADJust:PRESelector MWAVe | MMWave | EXTernal
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:PADJust:PRESelector?
Notes PSA had multiple preselectors, and you could select which preselector to adjust. Since the X-Series
has only one mm/uW preselector, the preselector selection softkey is no longer available. However,
to provide backward compatibility, we accept the legacy remote commands.
The command form has no effect, the query always returns MWAVe

Y Axis Unit
Displays the menu keys that enable you to change the vertical (Y) axis amplitude unit. The analyzer retains
the entered Y Axis Unit separately for both Log and Lin amplitude scale types. For example, if Scale Type
has been set to Log, and you set Y Axis Unit to dBm, pressing Scale Type (Log) sets the Y Axis Unit to dBm. If
Scale Type has been set to Lin and you set Y Axis Unit to V, pressing Scale Type (Lin) sets the Y Axis Unit to
V. Pressing Scale Type (Log) again sets the Y axis unit back to dBm.
The units of current (A, dBmA, dBuA) are calculated based on 50 ohms input impedance.
All four of the EMI units (dBµA/m, dBµV/m, dBG, dBpT) are treated by the instrument exactly as though
they were dBuV. The user must load an appropriate correction factor using Amplitude Corrections for
accurate and meaningful results.
If a SCPI command is sent to the analyzer that uses one of the EMI units as a terminator, the analyzer
treats it as though DBUV had been sent as the terminator.

Notes The Y axis unit has either logarithmic or linear characteristics. The set of units that is logarithmic
consists of dBm, dBmV, dBmA, dBµV, dBµA, dBµV/m, dBµA/m, dBpT, and dBG. The set of units that
are linear consists of V, W, and A. The chosen unit will determine how the reference level and all the
amplitude-related outputs like trace data, marker data, etc. read out.
