Example for context-specific commands
The following measurement control command affects the EPSensor measurement
context (external power sensor measurement) in the GPRF:MEASurement<i>
firmware application:
INITiate:GPRF:MEASurement<i>:EPSensor
The EPSensor measurement context appears as a fourth-level mnemonic. No view
type is specified.
Example for view-specific commands
The following command retrieves the results in the PVTime view (Power vs. Time)
which is part of the MEValuation measurement context in the
GSM:MEASurement<i> firmware application:
FETCh:GSM:MEASurement<i>:MEValuation:TRACe:PVTime:CURRent?
The PVTime view appears as a sixth-level mnemonic.
READ...? and FETCh...? queries
The READ...? query is view-specific and calculates only the results needed for a
particular view. This can result in a performance improvement compared to the
context-specific command sequence INITiate...; FETCh...?.

5.4.1 Measurement Control
The R&S CMW 500 provides a variety of measurements (also termed measurement
contexts) for each of the supported network standards or general purpose applications.
All measurements are identified by a fourth level mnemonic and controlled in an
analogous way. The benefit of this structure lies in the close analogy of all
