MEASurement Commands 2
U8480 Series Programming Guide 77
Parameters
Refer to “Optional parameters” on page 73 for additional details on the 
parameters in this command.
Example
Item Description/Default Range of values
expected_value A numeric value for the expected power level. The 
units of measurement are dBm and W. The default 
units are defined by UNIT:POWer
sensor-dependent 
DEF
[a]
resolution A numeric value for the resolution. If unspecified, the current 
resolution setting is used.
1 to 4
[b]
1.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001
DEF
[a]
source list The measurement channel which the command is 
implemented on. The U8480 Series supports only one 
channel. Therefore, the only valid value is (@1). 
(@1)
[a] The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the command subsystems. The parameters must 
be entered in the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a placeholder. 
Specifying DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.
[b] When the measurement result is linear, this parameter represents the number of significant digits. When the measurement result is 
logarithmic, 1 to 4 represents 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 respectively.
CONF DEF,2,(@1) This command configures the measurement 
to measure power using the current range 
and a resolution setting of 2.
