Making Measurements
The MEASure? query and CONFigure command provide a straightforward method
to program the U8480 Series for measurements. You can select the measurement
expected power level and resolution in one command. The U8480 Series
automatically presets other measurement parameters to default values as shown
in Table 1-1 below.

An alternative method to program the U8480 Series is to use the lower-level
commands. The advantage of using the lower-level commands over the
MEASure? query and CONFigure command is that they give you more precise
control of the U8480 Series. As shown in Table 1-1, the CONFigure command
presets various states in the U8480 Series. It may be likely that you do not want to
preset these states.
Using MEASure?
The simplest way to program the U8480 Series for measurements is by using the
MEASure? query. However, this query does not offer much flexibility. When you
execute the query, the U8480 Series selects the best settings for the requested
configuration and immediately performs the measurement. You cannot change any
setting (other than the expected power value and resolution) before the
measurement is taken. This means you cannot finetune the measurement; for
