Subsystem SPECtrum:LEVel (Level) 
The subsystem POWer:LEVel sets the level range of the Spectrum measurement. The subsystem cor-
responds to the Level Scale hotkey in the graphical measurement menu Spectrum.

Description of command 
This command configures the READ:SUBarrays:SPECtrum..., FETCh:SUBarrays:SPECtrum..., and 
SAMPle:SUBarrays:SPECtrum commands. It restricts the measurement to up to 32 subranges where either 
all measurement results (the number of which is given by the second numerical parameter) or a single statistical 
value is returned. The subranges are defined by the start frequency and the number of test points to be meas-
ured.  
For <Mode> = IVAL, the <Samples> parameter is ignored and the CMU returns a single measurement value cor-
responding to the abscissa value <Start>. If <Start> is located between two test points with valid results then the 
result is calculated from the results at these two adjacent test points by linear interpolation. 
The subranges may overlap but must be within the total range of the SPECtrum measurement defined by the 
commands  [SENSe:]SPECtrum:FREQuency:CENTer and [SENSe:]SPECtrum: FREQuency:SPAN or by 
[SENSe:]SPECtrum:FREQuency:STARt and [SENSe:]SPECtrum: FREQuency:STOP. Test points outside 
this range are not measured (result NAN) and do not enter into the ARIThmetical, MINimum and MAXimum 
values. 
By default, only one range corresponding to the total measurement range is used and all measurement values 
are returned.
