"Progress %"
Indicates the status of an initiated measurement.
Remote command:
[:SOURce]:BB:MEASurement:POWer:PROGress? on page 1111
Source/Output
Determines the start and end point for the power measurement, i.e. determines the
influence of which source signal is measured at which output point. Available are mea-
surements at all input and output interfaces of each block belonging to the baseband
domain.
The available acquisition points depend on the current "System Configuration > Fad-
ing/Baseband Configuration".

Acquisition
Determines the used acquisition method, see Chapter 9.2.2.3, "Selecting a Suitable
Acquisition Method", on page 624.
Refer to Chapter 9.2.4, "How to Query Information on the Baseband Power Levels",
on page 630 for examples on using the provided acquisition methods and their appli-
cation fields.
Remote command:
[:SOURce]:BB:MEASurement:POWer:ACQuisition on page 1109
Gate Source
In gated and multi-gated measurements, sets/displays the signal used to determine the
signal part to be measured.
With "Acquisition > Gated", the starting point of the signal measurement is determined
by one of the marker signals "Marker 1/2/3", as enabled for the current baseband sig-
nal source.
With "Acquisition > Multi Gated", the instrument uses the "Marker 2" and "Marker 3"
signals, see Figure 9-18.
See also Chapter 9.2.4, "How to Query Information on the Baseband Power Levels",
on page 630.
Remote command:
[:SOURce]:BB:MEASurement:POWer:GSOurce on page 1109
Sweep Time/Duration
Depending on the selected Run Mode, determines the measurement duration/sweep
time of the performed measurement.
Note:
Especially if a fading is enabled, it is important to trigger the measurement with an
appropriate duration. To ensure correct obtained average values:
●
Enable a "Run Mode > Single"
●
Select a measurement period that is long enough to average the fading signal and
the channel state information.
