3 VMA Mode
3.1 Digital Demod Measurement
"Rng: 1 V, 0.5 V " the I Range is 1 V Peak and the Q Range is 0.5 V Peak
This is an alternate form of the command to allow entry as a power.
Remote
Command
[:SENSe]:POWer:IQ:Q:RANGe[:UPPer] <ampl>
[:SENSe]:POWer:IQ:Q:RANGe[:UPPer]?
Example Sets the Q Range to 0.5 V Peak when Reference Z is 50Ω , and to 1.0 V Peak when Reference Z is
75Ω :
:POW:IQ:Q:RANG 4 dBm
:POW:IQ:Q:RANG?
Notes The POWer form of the command is provided for convenience. It maps to the same underlying gain
range parameter as the VOLTage form of the command
The Reference Z (not the Q channel Input Z) is used to convert the power to peak voltage, which is then
used to set the Q Range as with the VOLTage form of the command. The power values of the 4 range
states (1V Peak, 0.5V Peak, 0.25V Peak, and 0.125V Peak) will vary with Reference Z. Here are some
examples:
50 Ω: 10, 4, -2, -8
75 Ω: 8.2, 2.2, -3.8, -9.8
600 Ω: -0.8, -6.8, -12.8, -18.9
Preset 10.0 dBm
Range -20 dBm to 10 dBm
Min -20 dBm
Max 10 dBm
Q Same as I
Many, but not all, usages require the I and Q channels to have an identical setup. To
simplify channel setup, Q Same as I causes the Q channel range to be mirrored from
the I channel. That way, you only need to set up one channel (the I channel). The I
channel values are copied to the Q channel, so at the time Q Same as I is Off, the I
and Q channel setups will be identical.

Example Turn off the mirroring of I Range to Q Range
:VOLT:IQ:MIRR OFF
:POW:IQ:MIRR OFF
Couplings When ON, the "I Range" on page 1779 value is mirrored (copied) to the "Q Range" on page 1781
