3.9 SEM Measurement
3.9 SEM Measurement
The Spectrum Emission Mask measurement analyzes spurious signal levels in up to
six pairs of offset frequencies and relates them to the carrier power.
SEM Measurement Commands
The following commands and queries can be used to configure the measurement,
then retrieve measurement results:
The general functionality of "CONFigure" on page 2551, "INITiate" on page 2552,
"FETCh" on page 2552, "MEASure" on page 2554, and "READ" on page 2553 are
described in the section SCPI Operation and Results Query in the topic
Programming the Instrument.
Note that, in general, :CONF:<measurement> resets the specified measurement
settings to their defaults. X-Series permits the addition of the NDEFault node to the
command, which prevents a measurement preset after a measurement switch.
:CONFigure:SEMask
:CONFigure:SEMask:NDEFault
:INITiate:SEMask
:FETCh:SEMask[n]?
:MEASure:SEMask[n]?
:READ:SEMask[n]?
Remote Command Results Overview
The following table provides an overview of the results returned by the :FETCh,
:MEASure, and :READ queries listed above, according to the index value n. For
Mode-specific details, click on the appropriate link for each n value.
Offsets that are turned off (inactive) return -999.0 or NAN when their results are
queried via SCPI. The value of NAN is 9.91E+37.
