10 Performing measurement tasks - program-

ming examples

If you install the optional software development kit (SDK) of the R&S NRP Toolkit, pro-

gramming examples are provided. See Chapter 5.1, "R&S NRP Toolkit", on page 31.

Under Windows, these examples are installed under:

C:\ProgramData\Rohde-Schwarz\NRP-Toolkit-SDK\examples

This chapter gives programming examples for measurement tasks performed with the

series power sensors.

10.1 Performing the simplest measurement

The simplest way to obtain a result is to use the following sequence of commands:

*RST

INITiate

FETCh?

The *RST sets the continuous average mode.

INITiate initiates the measurement.

After *RST, the trigger system is set to TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate. That means

the power sensor starts measuring when the measurement is started without waiting

for a trigger condition.

After the measurement has been completed, FETCh<Sensor>[:SCALar][:

POWer][:AVG]? delivers the result to the output queue from which it can be fetched.

10.2 Performing the fastest measurement in continuous

average mode

The fastest way to obtain results for different continuous average measurements is

described here.

10.2.1 Untriggered fast unchopped continuous average measurement

This example, written in pseudo code, shows how to set up and execute an untrig-

gered, fast unchopped continuous average measurement.

See also [SENSe<Sensor>:][POWer:][AVG:]FAST on page 94.
