Configuration of sensor settings
The sensor settings are controlled by the SENSe command system. The sensors tell the basic unit
which commands they understand and which parameters are allowed. As a result, the commands
described below cannot be used for some sensors.
Selecting a measurement mode
The most important sensor-dependent setting is the selection of a measurement mode:
• ContAv mode (SENS:FUNC "POW:AVG"): Continuous measurement with only one integration time
specified (SENS:APER), within which the power is integrated as a measurement result.
Example:
*RST
SENS:FUNC "POW:AVG"
SENS:APER 10 MS
INIT
FETCh?
• Timeslot mode (SENS:FUNC "POW:TSL:AVG"): After the trigger event, the power is measured in
timeslots, the number of which is defined with SENS:TSL:COUN. The length of the timeslots is set
with SENS:TSL:WIDT.
Example:
*RST
SENS:FUNC "POW:TSL:AVG"
SENS:TSL:WIDT 577 US
SENS:TSL:COUN 8
TRIG:SOUR EXT
INIT
FETCh?
• BurstAv mode (SENS:FUNC "POW:BURS:AVG"): Measurement of power pulses (bursts) with
automatic detection of the beginning and end of pulses. The trigger source setting is ignored. As
described above, the conditions for the detection of the pulse end can be set with commands
SENS:BURS:DTOL and TRIG:HYST.
Example:
*RST
SENS:FUNC "POW:BURS:AVG"
SENS:BURS:DTOL 100 MS
TRIG:HYST 3 DB
INIT
FETCh?
