The previous section describes the Power Viewer program module supplied with the instrument. This 
module simplifies the most frequently used function of a power meter – measuring the average power of 
an RF signal of almost any modulation. Other program modules are also part of the supplied equipment 
and can be selected in the Start menu: 
• Power Viewer: A detailed description of this virtual power meter module is provided in 
  section 2. 
• Terminal: Program module for sending commands and command sequences to the 
  sensor and for displaying measurement results, status information and 
  other data from the sensor 
• Firmware Update: Program module for updating the sensor firmware 
• Update S-Parameters: Program module for loading an s-parameter table into the sensor 
 
Program module "Terminal" 
Main control elements 
With the USB terminal, commands and command sequences can be sent to the sensor in two different 
ways: 
• Commands are entered in the Input  field (Fig. 3-1). Consecutive commands can be entered as 
separate lines, one below the other. The buttons associated with the Input field are described in 
Table 3-1. 
• Commands or command sequences are stored in command files. Command files are created with a 
text editor, for instance, and then stored. They can be called as often as required (Fig. 3-2). The 
buttons of the Command File field are described in Table 3-2.
