In remote control, the sensors are set up using the SENSe commands. The remote
measurement is triggered by the READ query which also provides the measurement
results. The state is not influenced by these commands, measurements results can be
retrieved with local State on or off.
The sensor is selected by suffix 1, 2, 3 or 4 in key word SENSe or READ of the com-
mand header.
Suffix 1 denotes the sensor connected to SENSOR, suffix 2 the one at the first USB
interface, and suffix 3 and 4 are assigned to the sensors at the following USB interfa-
ces. The suffix is identical to the index which is assigned automatically to each sensor
upon connection.
To query the availability of a sensor at a given connector, use the command
SENSe<ch>[:POWer]:STATus[:DEVice]? on page 587.
Remote command:
:INITiate<ch>[:POWer]:CONTinuous on page 580
Level (Peak)
With certain power sensors only, for example R&S NRP-Z81.
Indicates the measured peak level value with the selected unit.
Remote command:
:READ<ch>[:POWer]? on page 580
Level (Avg.)
Indicates the measured level value with the selected unit.
Remote command:
:READ<ch>[:POWer]? on page 580
Unit
Selects the unit used for result display.
The power sensor provides the measured value in Watt.
In which unit the measured value is indicated is selected here and might be Watt, dBm
or dBuV.
Remote command:
:SENSe<ch>:UNIT[:POWer] on page 588
Permanent Display State
Activates the permanent indication of the power measurement result in the upper right
corner of the block diagram. The instrument shows the type of sensor, the correspond-
ing connector, the measurement source and - if set - the offset.
It is possible to switch the permanent display active for several sensors. The instru-
ment indicates the values of a maximum of two sensors simultaneously, in ascending
order of connected channels. If you activate the display of a third sensor, the instru-
ment fades out the values of the last highest channel number automatically.
