Example
Error messages
– INITiate[1]:CONTinuous must be set to OFF, otherwise error –213, “Init
ignored” occurs.
–If TRIGger[1]:SOURce is set to BUS or HOLD, error –214, “Trigger deadlock”
occurs.
– If the expected value and resolution parameters are not the same as the
current expected value and resolution settings on the measurement, error
–221, “Settings conflict” occurs.
Item Description/Default Range of values
expected_value
(for the expected power
level)
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.
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 sub-systems. 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.
READ? Queries the measurement.
