8.3.3.42 PM:DS:INTerval
Description Data Store Interval Select
Syntax PM:DS:INTerval <interval>
Parameters
The parameter <interval>is of type <number>that is an integer. The
parameter represents the rate at which measurements are put in the data
buffer.
Function
An interval value of 1 causes the power meter to put all measurements taken
in the data store buffer; a value of 2 causes every other measurement to be
put in the data buffer and so on.
If the measurement mode is “CW Continuous”, an interval setting of 1
translates to putting measurements at the rate of 0.1ms in the data buffer.
If the measurement mode is “Peak-Peak Continuous”, an interval setting of 1
translates to putting measurements at a rate dictated by measurement timeout
duration. Refer “PM:MEAS:TIMEOUT” command for details.
If the measurement mode is “Pulse Continuous”, an interval setting of 1
translates to putting every pulse measurement in the data buffer. Here, the
rate of data storage depends upon the pulse repetition rate.
The total time taken to fill up the data buffer depends upon various factors
such as the interval, data store size and measurement mode.
