Example 3 - Specifying the expected power parameter
The previous example details the three optional parameters which can be used
with the MEASure? query. The first optional parameter is used to enter an expected
power value.
The following example uses the expected value parameter to specify a value of
-20 dBm. The resolution parameter is set to its default value, leaving it at its
current setting.
Example 4 - Specifying the resolution parameter
The previous examples detail the use of the expected value and source list
parameters. The resolution parameter is used to set the resolution. This parameter
does not affect the resolution of the data; however it does affect the
auto-averaging setting (refer to “Auto-averaging mode” on page 43).
The following example uses the resolution parameter to specify a resolution
setting of 3. This setting represents three significant digits if the measurement unit
is W, and 0.01 dB if the unit is dBm. Refer to Chapter 2, “MEASurement
Commands” on page 71 for further details on the resolution parameter. The
expected power and source list parameters are set to their default values in the
example. The expected power value remains unchanged at its current setting.
Note that as the source list parameter is the last specified parameter, you do not
have to specify DEF.
MEAS? -20,DEF,(@1)
specifies expected power value
MEAS? DEF,3
specifies resolution setting
