Error messages
– If this query is sent, and TRIG:COUNT > 1, error –221, “Settings conflict” 
occurs.
Item Description/Default Range of values
expected_value The expected power level parameter can be set to DEF or a 
numeric value. If a value is entered, it should correspond to 
that set by CONFigure otherwise an error occurs. 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 it is unspecified, the 
current resolution setting is used. If a value is entered, it 
should correspond to the current resolution setting otherwise 
an error occurs.
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.
